- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Open gaps behind door architraves
Different surfaces, different methods
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We work along the whole run so there are no open sections left.
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it.
About our fire rated sealant in Tuesley
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap isn’t a fire-rated seal. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. Typical jobs include open holes round services passing through fire walls and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment, on linear gaps, pipe & cable gaps and service penetrations.
For a small place like Tuesley, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Common problems we fix in Tuesley
Much fire stopping is hidden: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
If you look after a building such as Godalming College, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Questions from Tuesley
Do you cover Tuesley for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Tuesley is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
I let a flat near Milford (Surrey) station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
Workplaces and buildings in Tuesley
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Rented homes near Milford (Surrey) station change hands often, and 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 St John the Evangelist's Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Do not drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a village or hamlet like Tuesley, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if parking is tricky
