Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Dedworth
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That’s the part we focus on, gap by gap. We work on service penetrations, pipe & cable gaps and door frames, and people most often call us about seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list.
If you run a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Dedworth, the washrooms and kitchen need the same attention as a big site.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
Do you need fire rated sealant in Dedworth?
Door frames are a common weak spot. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
For buildings such as All Saints Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
Questions to ask before booking
- How much experience the applicator has
- What preparation is included
- What insurance they hold
- Is VAT in the price?
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. For a job in Dedworth, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

How the job changes by surface
Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We seal them along their full length so there are no open sections left.
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before we start to keep disruption down.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some can’t, so ask us which we used.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded.

What does fire rated sealant cost?

Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, wherever you are.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?

Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself, and we’ll mention anything we notice about the door.
Commercial buildings in Dedworth

We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
For landlords with property near Windsor & Eton Central station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Why it’s worth doing now in Dedworth
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job. In an older home around Dedworth, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
