Fire-rated sealant in Pirbright, Surrey
Fire-stopping gaps in Pirbright need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere like Pirbright needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
Common problems we fix in Pirbright
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It may look fine, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
If you let a flat or house near Brookwood station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- Any mould that needs treating
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many areas need sealing
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Photos by email, if that’s easy

Different surfaces, different methods
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist, and we will say if we spot a problem with them.
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Pirbright
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Brookwood station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.

Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one option among several. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.

Fire rated sealant in Pirbright: local notes
In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
For buildings such as Church of St Michael and All Angels, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. If you look after a building such as Knowl Hill School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
