Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Beacon's Bottom
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap isn’t a fire-rated seal. We cut out the wrong material and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. We’re often asked to deal with door frames with gaps between frame and wall and fire seals that have cracked with movement, on flats & HMOs, pipe & cable gaps and door frames.
For a small place like Beacon's Bottom, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
Can I do it myself?
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 doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.

What else we do in Beacon's Bottom
Why deal with it now?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. On its own, sealing it now is a small job and needn’t wait for anything else. Around Beacon's Bottom, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

When something else is needed
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.

What we are called out for in Beacon's Bottom
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
People generally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Open gaps behind door architraves
For landlords with property near Saunderton station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first.

For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know about parking restrictions
