How we handle fire rated sealant in Woodside
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That is the part we focus on, gap by gap. If you’re dealing with old fire sealant that has split or come away and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, we can help, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Woodside, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.

FAQs for Woodside
Is there a guarantee on fire rated sealant in Woodside?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Woodside?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Woodside is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
Typically it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Landlord and commercial work in Woodside
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
What happens if it’s left?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Older cottages and farmhouses around Woodside can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

Workplaces and buildings in Woodside
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.
If you look after a building such as Vernham Dean Gillum's Church of England Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Woodside?
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service isn’t always sealed again.
Look out for these signs:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
For buildings such as Church of St Mary, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

The process
Once we are on site, 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. In a small place like Woodside, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
