Workplaces and buildings in Billingbear
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.
For buildings such as Church of All Saints, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. If you look after a building such as Binfield Church of England Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

What we can’t put right

What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a village or hamlet like Billingbear, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
Any fire seal that’s cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the job gets bigger.
Leave it or put it right?
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. Around Billingbear, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

When to call us in Billingbear
Much fire stopping is hidden: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
If you let a flat or house near Bracknell station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
What your quote should include
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant

What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
Frame gaps are normally hidden behind the architrave. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size.
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
