What happens if it’s left?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing when the building is next checked. In a small place like Burnt Hill, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

Workplaces and buildings in Burnt 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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Letting a property close to Pangbourne station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

How the job changes by surface
Door frames
Frame gaps are usually hidden behind the architrave. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details before the trim goes back.
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach and we will flag it.
How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself usually takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Burnt Hill 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.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.

FAQs for Burnt Hill
Is Burnt Hill in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Burnt Hill is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Burnt Hill?
Yes. Burnt Hill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. We work from the specification you give us, and apply each product to its tested details.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam isn’t tested as fire stopping. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
When something else is needed
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
What we are called out for in Burnt Hill
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust won’t perform as it was tested. Rushed fire stopping is common.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Yattendon C.E. Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
