Fire rated sealant in Ripley
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; in a fire it expands into the joint. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. We work on linear gaps, plasterboard & masonry and door frames, and the jobs we see most are gaps left after a refit or conversion and open gaps behind door architraves.
In a village or hamlet like Ripley, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Why act early in Ripley
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again when the building is next checked. Older cottages and farmhouses around Ripley can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before work begins.
Why book with us
- Tidy, careful work
- ARBOMaster approved applicator

What happens on the day
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a village or hamlet like Ripley, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear the area around the work

When to call us in Ripley
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
Schools such as Ripley Court School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
What your quote should include
- What preparation is included
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What happens if the job turns out different
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’re 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 fails, we can still redo it.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Ripley
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Rented homes near Clandon station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary Magdalen, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is usually a straightforward job.
