Aldermaston Fire Rated Sealant
Professional fire rated sealant in and around Aldermaston, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a 12-month guarantee.
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building and we leave things clean and tidy. In a small place like Aldermaston, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Advice
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Aldermaston
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, and we can record what went where. If you’re dealing with open holes round services passing through fire walls and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Aldermaston is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What happens if it’s left?
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Getting them done and written up means you can show the action was taken. Older cottages and farmhouses around Aldermaston can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

What else we do in Aldermaston
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the list grows.

Landlords and agents in Aldermaston can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.

What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist, and we will say if we spot a problem with them.
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it.
Workplaces and buildings in Aldermaston
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.
If you let a flat or house near Aldermaston station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Aldermaston C.E. Primary 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 Mary the Virgin, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
