Workplaces and buildings in East Hagbourne
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For buildings such as Church of St Andrew, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Schools such as Hagbourne Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

About our fire rated sealant in East Hagbourne
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. Common call-outs are for fire seals that have cracked with movement and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap, on linear gaps, service penetrations and door frames.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near East Hagbourne, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in East Hagbourne and everywhere else we cover.

Advice
East Hagbourne questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Didcot Parkway station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you cover East Hagbourne for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and East Hagbourne is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in so it’s there for the next inspection.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
That is not something we state or certify. Your specification sets the requirement, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it, recording the locations and products.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How many areas need sealing

To make quoting easier, please include:
- The address or postcode of the job
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- The rough size of the job
We don’t publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we seal
- Door frames

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like East Hagbourne, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
