How we handle fire rated sealant in Tandridge
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. We work on door frames, linear gaps and service penetrations, and the jobs we see most are gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and open joints along the top of partitions.
For a small place like Tandridge, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
Fire rated sealant around Tandridge
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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Tandridge. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
If you let a flat or house near Godstone station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Peter, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Peter's CofE Infant School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

What happens if it’s left?
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, and we work to the product details every time. In a small place like Tandridge, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.

How the job changes by surface
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail, and we’ll tell you.
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We measure the gap at its widest point to make sure it suits the product.
Tandridge: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Godstone station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is Tandridge within the area you cover?
Yes, Tandridge is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam is not tested as fire stopping. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. We regularly work in flats, HMOs, schools and offices while they’re in use, with access planned around residents or staff. Early starts or out-of-hours work can be arranged if that suits the building.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
