About our fire rated sealant in Tadworth
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; then it swells to help close the gap. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through. If you have linear gaps at the head of walls and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, we can put it right.
Commercial work around a smaller place like Tadworth normally means a pub, a shop, a school or small business units rather than office blocks. The work is the same as in a big building, just on a smaller scale.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

How it works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Parking around Tadworth is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- 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.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

What else we do in Tadworth
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Tadworth
Is Tadworth within the area you cover?
Yes, Tadworth is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Tadworth station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. We work from the specification you give us and install to the manufacturer’s details.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is usually a straightforward job.
Quotes for fire rated sealant in Tadworth
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Access and height
- The number and length of the joints
- When we can work, for business premises
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that’s easy.
When it isn’t the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps
Why it’s worth doing now in Tadworth
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the work involved is often modest. In an older home around Tadworth, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
What you get with us
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Tidy, careful work

How the job changes by surface
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified room by room.
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We check the gap size around the service to make sure it suits the product.
Fire rated sealant in Tadworth: 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, 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.
For buildings such as Church of the Good Shepherd, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Schools such as Tadworth Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. If you let a flat or house near Tadworth station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
