Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We do not certify fire stopping or quote ratings. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and giving you a record of where it went.

What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.

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 gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. In a small place like Burghfield Bridge, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
What you get with us
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- We are fully insured
What happens on the day
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. The work generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere as small as Burghfield Bridge, access is often the only tricky part. 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.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- 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.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
How the job changes by surface
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance so residents know what to expect.
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. The gap is cleaned and backed where required before applying the sealant.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
Workplaces and buildings in Burghfield Bridge
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.
Schools such as Kennet Valley Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. For buildings such as St Matthew's, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Letting a property close to Reading Green Park station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
