Fire rated sealant in Hungerford, done properly
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping is not our role; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. If you have standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers, we can help, whatever the surface.
Work in a small place like Hungerford is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it before the sealant goes in.
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard.
What affects the quote in Hungerford
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The type of sealant required
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Access and height
- How many areas need sealing
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- The rough size of the job
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and describe the job and send photos if you have them.
How it works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In a small place like Hungerford, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
How to get a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.
Advice
Why act early in Hungerford
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing once someone inspects it. Around Hungerford, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
What you get with us
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- 180+ five-star Google reviews

Hungerford: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Hungerford?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Twyford station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. We cover Hungerford and the rest of Wokingham.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it is not a fire-rated seal. Use a product tested for that gap and service and we can apply it for you.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. We will tell you when we quote.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Hungerford
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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Schools such as Waltham St Lawrence Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Rented homes near Twyford station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
