Fire Rated Sealant in Kintbury
We cover Kintbury for intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the job gets bigger.
About our fire rated sealant in Kintbury
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. If you have fire seals that have cracked with movement and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers, we can put it right, on flats & HMOs, linear gaps and pipe & cable gaps alike.
For a small place like Kintbury, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What the job involves on each surface
Linear gaps
Linear gaps run along the head of walls, at floor edges and between panels. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each, and tell you if sealant alone is not the right fix.
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Kintbury
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Older cottages and farmhouses around Kintbury can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.

Commercial buildings in Kintbury
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’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Community buildings like Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. If you let a flat or house near Kintbury station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Kintbury St Mary's C.E. Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Common questions in Kintbury
Is Kintbury in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Kintbury is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
I let a flat near Kintbury station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
What does intumescent mean?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all and which one is used depends on the job.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. Our work is the gap around the frame and we will tell you if we spot problems with the door.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. Occupied flats, HMOs, offices and schools are all fine, with access planned around residents or staff. Out-of-hours work can be arranged if that suits the building.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building in most cases. Somewhere like Kintbury needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- 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.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any parking rules near the property
