Common problems we fix in Shere
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
Schools such as Shere CofE Aided Infant School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
Questions to ask before booking
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What the cure time is
- The length of the guarantee
When something else is needed
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs

Why act early in Shere
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own and needn’t wait for anything else. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Shere, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint and we will tell you which one you have.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are and we leave things clean and tidy. For a village or hamlet like Shere, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
Shere questions
Will you come out to Shere?
Yes, Shere is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Gomshall station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. We work from the specification you give us.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we’re done.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.

Fire rated sealant around Shere
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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you let a flat or house near Gomshall station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. For buildings such as The Church of St James, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
