Fire rated sealant in Laddingford
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. If you’re dealing with seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and linear gaps at the head of walls, we can put it right.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Laddingford, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Laddingford
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It looks sealed, but it is not fire-rated.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
For buildings such as St Mary, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved

Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.

What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. The order of work and access are planned with you.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all, and the choice depends on the gap.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam isn’t tested as fire stopping. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Landlord and commercial work in Laddingford
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint and we’ll tell you which one you have.
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 list grows.
How the job changes by surface
Flats and HMOs
Conversions usually leave a mix of old and new service holes. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product and the locations noted.
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement from the manufacturer’s details.
