How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. For a job in Virginia Water, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Fire rated sealant in Virginia Water, done properly
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor for buildings in Virginia Water. If you share the list, we can quote for the gaps that need fire-rated sealant. We work on service penetrations, door frames and linear gaps, and people most often call us about linear gaps at the head of walls and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls.
For a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Virginia Water, the washrooms and kitchen need the same attention as a big site, and fire-rated sealant around service openings should be restored after new pipes or cables go through.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The number and length of the joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The address or postcode of the job
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Need a quote? Please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the job. You will know what we plan to do, and what it will cost, before any work begins.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes and the list grows.
Common questions in Virginia Water
Can you do fire rated sealant in Virginia Water?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Virginia Water is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Virginia Water station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We do not issue ratings or certificates ourselves. 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.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent means it swells when heated, helping close the gap. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No, assessment isn’t something we do. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we will quote for the sealant work on it.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Virginia Water
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It looks sealed, but it is not fire-rated.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
Managing a site like Trumps Green Infant School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Workplaces and buildings in Virginia Water
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Rented homes near Virginia Water 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 Christ Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
