Fire rated sealant in Bisham
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; in a fire it expands into the joint. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. Typical jobs include fire seals that have cracked with movement and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, across service penetrations, pipe & cable gaps and linear gaps.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Bisham, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

When it is not the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor

Surfaces we seal

Why act early in Bisham
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now means you can show the action was taken. Older cottages and farmhouses around Bisham can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before we start.
Why us?
- Over 20 years’ experience

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Bisham
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, 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. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Bisham. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
For buildings such as Church of All Saints, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Letting a property close to Marlow station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere as small as Bisham, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any tricky access

Bisham: your questions answered
Is Bisham within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Marlow station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Standard sealants are not made or tested to stop fire. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Bisham
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
People usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Open joints along the top of partitions
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bisham Church of England Academy, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
Before booking anyone
- The length of the guarantee
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the list grows.
