How we handle fire rated sealant in Kingwood Common
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. We work on plasterboard & masonry, door frames and service penetrations, and common reasons people get in touch are open joints along the top of partitions and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant.
For a small place like Kingwood Common, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

When to call us in Kingwood Common
Gaps also open up as buildings move: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
If you let a flat or house near Henley-On-Thames station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Questions from Kingwood Common

Do you cover smaller places like Kingwood Common?

Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you’ll get one quote.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.

Fire rated sealant around Kingwood Common
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Peppard Church of England Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. For buildings such as The Church of Christ the King, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record.

The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a small place like Kingwood Common, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in

Why deal with it now?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again when the building is next checked. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Kingwood Common, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why book with us
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
