Chazey Heath Fire Rated Sealant
Fire-stopping gaps in Chazey Heath need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
How the job changes by surface
Door frames
Frame gaps are generally hidden behind the architrave. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details so the architrave can be refitted.
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We measure the gap at its widest point to make sure it suits the product.
About our fire rated sealant in Chazey Heath
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it. If you are dealing with unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and linear gaps at the head of walls, we can help, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Chazey Heath, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
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.

What we are called out for in Chazey Heath
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Open gaps behind door architraves
For buildings such as Church of St John the Baptist, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What the cure time is
- What insurance they hold
Workplaces and buildings in Chazey Heath
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.
Managing a site like Kidmore End Church of England Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Letting a property close to Tilehurst station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access for a typical job. Somewhere like Chazey Heath needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.

Related advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
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.

Why act early in Chazey Heath
For some gaps, sealant isn’t the right answer and another system is needed. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We’ll say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Chazey Heath, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
