Why act early in West Hyde
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own. Around West Hyde, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What you get with us
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet

Signs you need fire rated sealant in West Hyde
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
Letting a property close to Denham Golf Club station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

What sealant work can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Questions from West Hyde
I let a flat near Denham Golf Club station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is West Hyde within the area you cover?
Yes, West Hyde is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. All our work carries a one-year guarantee.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent means it swells when heated, helping close the gap. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in West Hyde?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing and where.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
How the visit works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. For a village or hamlet like West Hyde, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

What the job involves on each surface
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail.
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details before the trim goes back.
Fire rated sealant around West Hyde
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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Maple Cross Junior Mixed Infant and Nursery School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Thomas of Canterbury, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
