Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Thorncombe Street
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. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. Typical jobs include unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and fire seals that have cracked with movement, across service penetrations, flats & HMOs and pipe & cable gaps.
Work in a small place like Thorncombe Street is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

DIY versus a professional finish
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.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.

Thorncombe Street questions
Is Thorncombe 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.
Do you work for landlords with property near Godalming station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing and where.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam isn’t tested as fire stopping. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We do not certify fire stopping or quote ratings. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and giving you a record of where it went.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself and we’ll tell you if we spot problems with the door.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Fire rated sealant around Thorncombe Street
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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Schools such as Godalming College are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Thorncombe Street
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
Look out for any of the following:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
For landlords with property near Godalming station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
Before booking anyone
- Are they insured?
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How much experience the applicator has
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and get them seen to.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the job gets bigger.
Why act early in Thorncombe Street
For some gaps, sealant isn’t the right answer and another system is needed. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. We’ll say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Around Thorncombe Street, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
