Whiteley Village questions
Is Whiteley Village within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Weybridge station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
What does intumescent mean?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Standard sealants are not made or tested to stop fire. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We don’t 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.
About our fire rated sealant in Whiteley Village
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it, so we follow the tested detail for each one. We work on plasterboard & masonry, door frames and pipe & cable gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and fire seals that have cracked with movement.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Whiteley Village, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Common problems we fix in Whiteley Village
Gaps also open up as buildings move: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
For buildings such as Church of St Mark, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, 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. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
The process
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere as small as Whiteley Village, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
What the job involves on each 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.
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard for the gap we are sealing.
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

Why deal with it now?
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the work involved is often modest. In a small place like Whiteley Village, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Fire rated sealant in Whiteley Village: local notes
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For landlords with property near Weybridge station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. Managing a site like Notre Dame Senior School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
