We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Fire rated sealant in Witley, done properly
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor. If you share the list, we can quote for the gaps that need fire-rated sealant. If you have open holes round services passing through fire walls and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed, we can put it right, on flats & HMOs, pipe & cable gaps and door frames alike.
In a village or hamlet like Witley, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What we are called out for in Witley
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Chandler CofE Aided Junior School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
Before booking anyone
- The length of the guarantee
- What product goes in the joint
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Who turns up on the day
What sealant work cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Service penetrations
- Door frames

Witley questions
Do you cover smaller places like Witley?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Milford (Surrey) station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
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’ll quote for the sealant work on it.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.
How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In a small place like Witley, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Related advice
Why deal with it now?
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, and we work to the product details every time. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Witley, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Fire rated sealant in Witley: 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, 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.
Community buildings like Church of All Saints are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Rented homes near Milford (Surrey) station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
