Fire rated sealant in Hedgerley
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap is not a fire-rated seal. We cut out the wrong material and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. We work on plasterboard & masonry, flats & HMOs and linear gaps, and people most often call us about new service routes left unsealed after building work and unsealed gaps around fire door frames.
For a small place like Hedgerley, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Slough.

How it works
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 normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. For a village or hamlet like Hedgerley, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Why deal with it now?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own. In a small place like Hedgerley, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot and we’ll tell you which one you have.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hedgerley
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
How the job changes by surface
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance to keep disruption down.
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the seal has something sound to bond to.

Fire rated sealant around Hedgerley
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, 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.
Schools such as Farnham Common Junior School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. For buildings such as Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Common problems we fix in Hedgerley
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Open gaps behind door architraves
If you let a flat or house near Gerrards Cross station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
