In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Fire rated sealant in Crowell, done properly
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. We work on flats & HMOs, door frames and service penetrations, and common reasons people get in touch are open joints along the top of partitions and unsealed gaps around fire door frames.
Somewhere as small as Crowell, 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.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are covered after we have gone.

Why it’s worth doing now in Crowell
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own. Older cottages and farmhouses around Crowell can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll talk you through it.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Fire rated sealant around Crowell
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.
Rented homes near Princes Risborough station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Schools such as Mill Lane Community Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

How the job changes by surface
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We work through the gaps on your assessment.
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. The gap is cleaned and backed where required before the sealant goes in.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.

Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The product needed can limit the range.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We don’t issue ratings or certificates ourselves. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves, and we install to them.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
