Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Bishop's Green
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap. We work on pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and door frames, and people most often call us about cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Bishop's Green, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Workplaces and buildings in Bishop's Green
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Peter, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Managing a site like Cheam School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Letting a property close to Newbury Racecourse station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, depending on the amount of work. Somewhere like Bishop's Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How much there is to do
- Any mould that needs treating
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Helping us quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Roughly how big the job is
There’s no standard price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
How the job changes by surface
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth over any backing the detail calls for.
Leave it or put it right?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing when the building is next checked. Older cottages and farmhouses around Bishop's Green can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

How long will you be here?
Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, including the preparation. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal. Use a product tested for that gap and service.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.

Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
