How the job changes by surface
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist and we’ll mention anything we notice.
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Huntercombe
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. Typical jobs include ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, on service penetrations, door frames and flats & HMOs.
Community buildings, schools and small businesses around places like Huntercombe have washrooms and kitchens that see a lot of use. Their sealant and fire-rated joints are as important as those in any bigger building.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What happens if it’s left?
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Getting them done and written up means you can show the action was taken. Homes in smaller places like Huntercombe can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

What happens on the day
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a smaller place like Huntercombe, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- 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
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Access and height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Working hours on commercial sites
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- The rough size of the job
- If someone has resealed it before
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we will come back to you with a quote.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes and the job gets bigger.
Workplaces and buildings in Huntercombe
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.
Letting a property close to Burnham station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Cippenham Infant School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Do you work for landlords with property near Burnham station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one of the options. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Tell us how the building is used and we’ll plan around it.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No, we don’t assess buildings. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we’ll quote for the sealant work on it.
What sealant work can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
