Fire rated sealant in Headley
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; in a fire it expands into the joint. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through. We work on flats & HMOs, door frames and plasterboard & masonry, and the jobs we see most are seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list.
In a village or hamlet like Headley, 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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will give you a quote.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach and we’ll flag it.
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. We clean out dust and debris before sealing.

Advice
What we are called out for in Headley
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Open joints along the top of partitions
If you look after a building such as Cheam School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the cure time is
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What happens if the job turns out different
Commercial buildings in Headley
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.
Rented homes near Thatcham station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Peter, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Headley: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Headley?
Yes, Headley is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Thatcham station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, including the preparation. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself and we’ll tell you if we spot problems with the door.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We don’t issue ratings or certificates ourselves. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. If you need photos or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. We regularly work in flats, HMOs, schools and offices while they’re in use. Out-of-hours work can be arranged if that suits the building.
Why it’s worth doing now in Headley
A quick fill with any sealant to hand isn’t fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. In a small place like Headley, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
