How we handle fire rated sealant in Eton Wick
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, and we can record what went where. We work on service penetrations, linear gaps and pipe & cable gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are door frames with gaps between frame and wall and old fire sealant that has split or come away.
For a small place like Eton Wick, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Common problems we fix in Eton Wick
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of Saint John the Baptist, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
What your quote should include
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How long the guarantee is
- Who turns up on the day
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
Why deal with it now?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing once someone inspects it. Older cottages and farmhouses around Eton Wick can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Eton Wick
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Eton Wick. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.
For landlords with property near Windsor & Eton Central station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Schools such as Eton Wick CofE First School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Questions from Eton Wick
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Eton Wick?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.

Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control, and apply each product to its tested details.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent means it swells when heated to help seal the gap. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Eton Wick?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
How the job changes by surface
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes are not treated the same. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each and we flag any that need another system.
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the list grows.
