Fire Rated Sealant in Reigate
Problem with your fire-stopping gaps in Reigate? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some can’t.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Reigate
We do not assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. If you have fire stopping disturbed by later work and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For anyone managing a school, care home, pub or office in Reigate, washroom sealant, kitchen joints and fire-rated sealant around service openings all need upkeep. Out-of-hours working is possible to arrange.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Reigate
I let a flat near Reigate station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is Reigate in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Reigate is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent means it swells when heated to help seal the gap. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in so it’s there for the next inspection.
Where do you work from?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Reigate
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
If you look after a building such as Reigate Priory Community Junior School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
Questions to ask before booking
- What guarantee comes with the work
- What insurance they hold
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What product goes in the joint
What happens if it’s left?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. In Reigate, as anywhere, most leaks start as a small gap in a joint, and early is when they’re cheapest and quickest to sort.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Flats & HMOs
Workplaces and buildings in Reigate
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Reigate. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on. Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For buildings such as Church of St Mary Magdalene, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Rented homes near Reigate station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
