Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Tilford Reeds
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor. If you share the list, we can quote for the gaps that need fire-rated sealant. We are often asked to deal with gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and linear gaps at the head of walls, across service penetrations, flats & HMOs and door frames.
Somewhere as small as Tilford Reeds, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

What we are called out for in Tilford Reeds
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust will not perform as it was tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
If you look after a building such as All Saints CofE Aided Infant School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail.
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist and we’ll mention anything we notice.
Why act early in Tilford Reeds
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. Around Tilford Reeds, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
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
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Full insurance on every job
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Tilford Reeds
Will you come out to Tilford Reeds?
Yes, we do. 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.
Is Tilford Reeds in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Tilford Reeds is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
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 and we’ll tell you if we spot problems with the door.
What fire rating will the seal have?
Ratings and certificates are not something we issue. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves, and we install to them.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control and install to the manufacturer’s details.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Tilford Reeds?

What affects the quote in Tilford Reeds

- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Mould in or behind the old joints

- The problem you’ve noticed
- If someone has resealed it before

Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Fire rated sealant in Tilford Reeds: local notes
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Rented homes near Farnham station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. For buildings such as Church of All Saints, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
