Questions from Hurst
Do you work for landlords with property near Twyford station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Is Hurst in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Hurst is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam is not tested as fire stopping. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Hurst
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap isn’t a fire-rated seal. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. If you’re dealing with standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, we can help, whatever the surface.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Hurst, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere like Hurst needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Fire rated sealant around Hurst
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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Nicholas Church of England Primary, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
Hurst is about 2 miles east of Woodley, in Wokingham. Anywhere in RG10, we cover fire rated sealant for homes and businesses. Our Wokingham coverage runs to 35 places, and Hurst is one of them.
Jobs for fire rated sealant in RG10 works the same way as everywhere else we cover. That includes homes and businesses on Braybrooke Drive, School Road and Tape Lane and the roads around them. Close by, we work in Whistley Green (1 mile north-west), Twyford (2 miles north), Hungerford (2 miles north-east), Ruscombe (2 miles north) and Woodley (2 miles west). Within a short drive, we also cover Reading (5 miles west), Wokingham (3 miles south), Earley (4 miles south-west), Crowthorne (6 miles south-east), Lower Earley (3 miles south-west) and Newtown (4 miles west).
Around Hurst

Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
When to call us in Hurst
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.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
If you let a flat or house near Twyford station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What the cure time is
- The length of the guarantee
- Are they insured?
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Ask which product was used before you paint
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.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record so you can show it was dealt with.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hurst
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Around Hurst, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
