How we handle fire rated sealant in Hanworth
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk does not make it fire-rated. We cut out the wrong material and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. Typical jobs include gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant, across plasterboard & masonry, pipe & cable gaps and door frames.
For a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Hanworth, its washrooms and kitchen need the same sealant care as any big building.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

The process
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Parking around Hanworth is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- 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.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
What sealant work cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Hanworth
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- When we can work, for business premises
- How much there is to do
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The type of sealant required
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- The rough size of the job
- Where the property is
- The problem you’ve noticed
- A few photos by email, if you can
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work before giving you a price.
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded so you can show it was dealt with.
Hanworth questions
Do you cover smaller places like Hanworth?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Bracknell station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Hanworth, along with the rest of our area.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Standard sealants aren’t made or tested to stop fire. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
How the job changes by surface
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.

Fire rated sealant in Hanworth: local notes
Hanworth is part of Bracknell, one of the post-war new towns. Like the other new towns, Bracknell was planned with its own areas for industry and business, so workplaces sit close to the homes. Their washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints need the same upkeep as anywhere. 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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
For buildings such as St Michael and St Mary Magdalene's Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Managing a site like The Pines School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Rented homes near Bracknell station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
