What fire rated sealant looks like in Amen Corner
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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details. Amen Corner has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.
If you look after a building such as Jennett's Park CofE 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 Mark, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
How the visit works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are in most cases. Parking around Amen Corner is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Related advice
When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
Do you need fire rated sealant in Amen Corner?
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It looks sealed, but it is not fire-rated.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
Rented homes near Bracknell station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Amen Corner: your questions answered
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Amen Corner?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Will you come out to Amen Corner?
Yes, Amen Corner is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and giving you a record of where it went.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
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.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot, helping close the gap. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Access and height
- The number and length of the joints
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Whether it has been sealed before
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Where the property is
For a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. We will give you a clear price before any work starts.
Leave it or put it right?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that does not follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. Homes in smaller places like Amen Corner can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
