Commercial buildings in Langley 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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Community buildings like St Eligius are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Rented homes near Wokingham station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:

- If someone has resealed it before

The process
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere as small as Langley Common, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

What happens if it’s left?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. Older cottages and farmhouses around Langley Common can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.

Take a look at our cost guide and what customers say.
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Langley Common?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can I choose the sealant colour?

Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Common problems we fix in Langley Common
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it isn’t installed as tested. Rushed fire stopping is common.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Open gaps behind door architraves
Schools such as The Coombes Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
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.
