Fire rated sealant in Crowmarsh Gifford
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; in a fire it expands into the joint. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. We work on service penetrations, plasterboard & masonry and linear gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are unsealed gaps around fire door frames and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated.
For a small place like Crowmarsh Gifford, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Yes, Crowmarsh Gifford is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you work for landlords with property near Cholsey station?

Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before work begins.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
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, and the choice depends on the gap.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Crowmarsh Gifford?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you will get one quote.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Crowmarsh Gifford?
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
For buildings such as Church of St Mary Magdalene, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
What to look for in a quote
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How long the guarantee is
- Are they insured?

Why it’s worth doing now in Crowmarsh Gifford
A quick fill with any sealant to hand isn’t fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Crowmarsh Gifford, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before work begins.

Fire rated sealant in Crowmarsh Gifford: local notes
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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you let a flat or house near Cholsey station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Schools such as Crowmarsh Gifford Church of England School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
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.
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard for each gap size.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
When something else is needed
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
