Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The address or postcode of the job

It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Fire rated sealant in Inkpen
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. If you have gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and old fire sealant that has split or come away, we can help, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Inkpen, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Inkpen as everywhere else we work.

Common problems we fix in Inkpen
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It may look fine, but it is not a fire-rated seal.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
For landlords with property near Kintbury station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What product goes in the joint
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Whether you can choose the colour
How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a small place like Inkpen, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Inkpen
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Kintbury station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you cover Inkpen for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Inkpen 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, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No, assessment is not something we do. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we’ll quote for the sealant work on it.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The product needed can limit the range.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Inkpen?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Inkpen
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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Michael, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Inkpen Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with

Why act early in Inkpen
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now means you can show the action was taken. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Inkpen, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
