Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Tilford Common
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. Typical jobs include fire stopping disturbed by later work and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, across linear gaps, pipe & cable gaps and service penetrations.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Tilford Common, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes.
Questions from Tilford Common
Is Tilford Common within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you cover Tilford Common for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Tilford Common is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant and which one is used depends on the job.
Can I do it myself?
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 I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.

What we’re called out for in Tilford Common
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust won’t perform as it was tested. Rushed fire stopping is common particularly when it was the last job before handover.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as All Saints CofE Aided Infant School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Fire rated sealant in Tilford Common: 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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Community buildings like Church of All Saints are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Rented homes near Farnham station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

What sealant work can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Flats & HMOs
Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it before applying the sealant.
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified, flat by flat if needed.
What happens if it’s left?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own and needn’t wait for anything else. Around Tilford Common, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
