Fire rated sealant in Aldermaston Wharf
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, and we can record what went where. Common call-outs are for gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and linear gaps at the head of walls, on plasterboard & masonry, flats & HMOs and service penetrations.
In a village or hamlet like Aldermaston Wharf, 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.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Aldermaston Wharf?
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
Look out for any of the following:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
For landlords with property near Aldermaston station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
What affects the quote in Aldermaston Wharf
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking

- 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.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Joints and surfaces we work on
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
Different surfaces, different methods
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We seal them along their full length leaving no stretch unsealed.
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
