Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Boyn Hill
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping is not our role; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. Common call-outs are for joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, across linear gaps, pipe & cable gaps and flats & HMOs.
Around a place like Boyn Hill, halls, schools and small businesses all have washrooms and kitchens used by many people. Their sealant and fire-rated joints are as important as those in any bigger building.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- When we can work, for business premises
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number and length of the joints
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Roughly how big the job is
- Where the property is
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Simply call 0345 464 0079 or email us and describe the job.
Why act early in Boyn Hill
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. In a smaller place like Boyn Hill, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Why book with us
- 180+ five-star Google reviews

Questions from Boyn Hill
I let a flat near Maidenhead station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Boyn Hill?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself, and we’ll mention anything we notice about the door.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. Occupied flats, HMOs, offices and schools are all fine, with access planned around residents or staff. Out-of-hours work can be arranged if that suits the building.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Boyn Hill
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
Letting a property close to Maidenhead station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

- Whether they’re fully insured
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Whether you can choose the colour
How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building and we leave things clean and tidy. A visit to Boyn Hill is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Workplaces and buildings in Boyn Hill
Boyn Hill has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed. 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 building such as Larchfield Primary and Nursery School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as All Saints' Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
