Commercial buildings in Burghfield Hill
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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Schools such as Garland Junior School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. For buildings such as Church of St Mary, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. If you let a flat or house near Mortimer station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

How we handle fire rated sealant in Burghfield Hill
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; in a fire it expands into the joint. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. We are often asked to deal with open holes round services passing through fire walls and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, on door frames, pipe & cable gaps and plasterboard & masonry.
If you run a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Burghfield Hill, its washrooms and kitchen need the same sealant care as any big building, and fire-rated sealant around service openings should be restored after new pipes or cables go through.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
Common questions in Burghfield Hill
Do you cover Burghfield Hill for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Burghfield Hill is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Mortimer station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. If you need photos or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Burghfield Hill?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail.
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each, and tell you if sealant alone is not the right fix.
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
