Common problems we fix in Hawthorn Hill
Much fire stopping is hidden: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Open gaps behind door architraves
Schools such as Holyport College are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

How we handle fire rated sealant in Hawthorn Hill
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, and we can record what went where. If you are dealing with new service routes left unsealed after building work and fire stopping disturbed by later work, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Hawthorn Hill, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
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.

How the job changes by surface
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details so the architrave can be refitted.
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We measure the gap at its widest point against the product’s tested range.
What affects the quote in Hawthorn Hill
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Any mould that needs treating
- The number and length of the joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The type of sealant required
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- The type of property
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Where the property is
- The rough size of the job
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. Whenever you’re ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It usually takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Hawthorn Hill needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- 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.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions

What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. Sealant won’t put right:
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal

Workplaces and buildings in Hawthorn Hill
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.
For landlords with property near Bracknell station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Michael and All Angels, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
