What the job involves on each surface
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance.
Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We seal them along their full length leaving no stretch unsealed.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in West Horsley
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. If you have fire stopping disturbed by later work and gaps left after a refit or conversion, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Commercial work around a smaller place like West Horsley generally means a pub, a shop, a school or small business units rather than office blocks. The work is the same as in a big building, just on a smaller scale.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Questions from West Horsley
Will you come out to West Horsley?
Yes. West Horsley is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Horsley station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Ventilation helps.
What fire rating will the seal have?
That is not something we state or certify. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we apply a product tested for it.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. We will tell you when we quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.

What fire rated sealant looks like in West Horsley
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Rented homes near Horsley station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. Community buildings like Church of St Mary the Virgin are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Schools such as The Raleigh School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, depending on how much there is to do. A visit to West Horsley 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 go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move anything stored near the joints

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- The size of the job
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Access and height
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first.
Helping us quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand.
What we cannot put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work in West Horsley

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Why act early in West Horsley
For some gaps, sealant is not the right answer and another system is needed. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We will say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. In a smaller place like West Horsley, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
