Fire rated sealant in Dorney, done properly
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That is the part we focus on, one gap at a time. We work on flats & HMOs, service penetrations and linear gaps, and people most often call us about linear gaps at the head of walls and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls.
For a small place like Dorney, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
We guarantee the work for a year. 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 Dorney
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St James, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
Before you book anyone
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
How the visit works
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a small place like Dorney, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Advice
Quotes for fire rated sealant in Dorney
We do not publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Access and height
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number of rooms or windows
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What to tell us for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Roughly how big the job is
There’s no standard price list. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To get started, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Landlord and commercial work in Dorney

Fire rated sealant in Dorney: local notes
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Managing a site like Western House Academy? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Rented homes near Burnham station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

Why act early in Dorney
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, so both the product and the method matter. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Dorney, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
