How we handle fire rated sealant in Thorley Street
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That’s the part we focus on, one gap at a time. If you have unsealed gaps around fire door frames and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Thorley Street, 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.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Thorley Street as everywhere else we work.

When to call us in Thorley Street
Over time, buildings change layout and use. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
Around Thorley Street, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Thorley Street questions
Is Thorley Street within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is fire rated sealant in Thorley Street guaranteed?
All our work, in Thorley Street and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use fitted to the maker’s details.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Will it make a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
As a guide, most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
What else we do in Thorley Street
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating. The job normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere as small as Thorley Street, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear the area around the work

What sealant work can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
Why act early in Thorley Street
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, so both the product and the method matter. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Thorley Street, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
What you get with us
- Tidy, careful work
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme

Fire rated sealant around Thorley Street
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Thorley Street, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. 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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St. Swithin's Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
