For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Fire rated sealant in Hampton Poyle, done properly
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. We work on flats & HMOs, linear gaps and door frames, and the jobs we see most are linear gaps at the head of walls and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant.
For a small place like Hampton Poyle, 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’ll sort it.

FAQs for Hampton Poyle
Do you work in hotels near Hampton Poyle?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Do you work for landlords with property near Islip station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
That is not something we state or certify. Your specification sets the requirement, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal. Use a product tested for that gap and service and we can apply it for you.
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.
What does intumescent mean?
Intumescent means it swells when heated, helping close the gap. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.

What else we do in Hampton Poyle
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
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.
Fire rated sealant in Hampton Poyle: 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, 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. Hampton Poyle has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. If you let a flat or house near Islip station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Managing a site like Gosford Hill School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Do not drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record so the item can be closed.
How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere as small as Hampton Poyle, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
What affects the quote in Hampton Poyle
You will get a clear quote before we start. It takes into account:
- When we can work, for business premises
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any mould that needs treating
- The size of the job
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The rough size of the job
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Where the job is, and your postcode
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you are ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hampton Poyle
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. On its own, sealing it now is a small job and needn’t wait for anything else. Older cottages and farmhouses around Hampton Poyle can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
