About our fire rated sealant in Upper Hale
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. If you’re dealing with ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, we can put it right.
Around a place like Upper Hale, halls, schools and small businesses all have washrooms and kitchens used by many people. Sealant and fire-rated joints there matter as much as in any larger building.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

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.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Upper Hale and the rest of Surrey, along with the rest of our area.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Common problems we fix in Upper Hale
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It looks sealed, but it isn’t fire-rated.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
If you let a flat or house near Farnham station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

How the job changes by surface
Linear gaps
Linear gaps run along the head of walls, at floor edges and between panels. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We measure the gap at its widest point against the product’s tested range.
Why act early in Upper Hale
Sealant isn’t the fix for every opening. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. If a gap is not suitable for sealant, we’ll tell you. Around Upper Hale, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.

What else we do in Upper Hale
Workplaces and buildings in Upper Hale
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.
If you look after a building such as Hale School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Mark the Evangelist Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. A visit to Upper Hale is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
