Fire rated sealant across Bracknell Forest: what to expect
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. We are often asked to deal with fire seals that have cracked with movement and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, across flats & HMOs, plasterboard & masonry and door frames.
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- 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.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.

Fire rated sealant across Bracknell Forest: local notes
From Bracknell, Sandhurst and Wick Hill to its smaller places, Bracknell Forest has workplaces, hotels and schools with joints to look after, from washroom silicone to fire-rated sealant around service openings.
London and the South East have homes from every era, from period terraces to post-war new towns and new estates. Each needs the right sealant for its age and materials, wherever it is in Bracknell Forest.
Bracknell: For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ranelagh 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 Holy Trinity Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
Leave it or put it right?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest doesn’t make a fire seal. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter.
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- The length of the guarantee
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint, so ask us which we used.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll give you a quote.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
How the job changes by surface
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Questions from Bracknell Forest
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. We agree access and the order of work with you first.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product following the tested details. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
