Fire rated sealant in Ditton
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. We are often asked to deal with sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and linear gaps at the head of walls, across service penetrations, pipe & cable gaps and door frames.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Ditton, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Other services in Ditton
Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified room by room.
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
The process
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Ditton 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.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Clear the area around the work
Ask for a quote
We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What we can’t put right
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before we start. It won’t solve:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
Landlord and commercial work in Ditton
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can be quoted together, and we’re fully insured.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Ditton?
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
If you let a flat or house near Datchet station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Fire rated sealant in Ditton: 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 are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Community buildings like St Francis Assisi are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Schools such as Castleview Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

What happens if it’s left?
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. In a small place like Ditton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
