About our fire rated sealant in East Garston
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. We work on pipe & cable gaps, linear gaps and flats & HMOs, and the jobs we see most are gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and door frames with gaps between frame and wall.
Work in a small place like East Garston is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere as small as East Garston, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- 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.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.

What sealant work cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame

Joints and surfaces we work on
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Door frames
- Linear gaps
Common problems we fix in East Garston
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.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
For buildings such as Church of All Saints, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
