Fire rated sealant in Highmoor
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. Common call-outs are for open joints along the top of partitions and damaged fire sealant left by other trades, on flats & HMOs, plasterboard & masonry and pipe & cable gaps.
Work in a small place like Highmoor is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before any work starts.
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. The gap is cleaned and backed where required before applying the sealant.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How easy the joints are to reach
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Where the property is
- The problem you’ve noticed
- How we’d reach the joints
There’s no standard price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Highmoor
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: 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 after spotting one of these:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Paul, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- What insurance they hold
Commercial buildings in Highmoor
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Highmoor. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on. 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, 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.
For landlords with property near Henley-On-Thames station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. Schools such as Stoke Row Church of England School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. For a village or hamlet like Highmoor, 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.

Highmoor questions
Will you come out to Highmoor?
Yes. Highmoor is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you take on hotel work around Highmoor?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one option among several. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
