Fire rated sealant for Hare Hatch and the surrounding area: the right sealant, proper preparation and a neat finish. Call for a quick quote.
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
About our fire rated sealant in Hare Hatch
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping isn’t our role; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. Common call-outs are for sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap, on flats & HMOs, service penetrations and pipe & cable gaps.
In a village or hamlet like Hare Hatch, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Why deal with it now?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. Older cottages and farmhouses around Hare Hatch can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

Fire rated sealant in Hare Hatch: local notes
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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.
Rented homes near Wargrave station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Robert Piggott CofE Infant School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The size of the job
- Whether the work is at height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If someone has resealed it before
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that’s easy.
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
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.
What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a small place like Hare Hatch, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Yes. We work in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other commercial buildings, including occupied ones. We agree access and the order of work with you first.
Do you certify the fire stopping?

How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. The gap is cleaned and backed where required before the sealant goes in.
Door frames
Frame gaps are usually hidden behind the architrave. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details so the architrave can be refitted.
When to call us in Hare Hatch
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It looks sealed, but it is not fire-rated.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Holes left by a change of layout
For buildings such as Church of St James, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
