Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Lower Common
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That is the part we focus on, one gap at a time. Typical jobs include standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and linear gaps at the head of walls, on pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and door frames.
In a village or hamlet like Lower Common, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Commercial buildings in Lower 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’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Letting a property close to Crowthorne station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.
When something else is needed
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before any work starts. Sealant will not put right:
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Door frames
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
What happens if it’s left?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest doesn’t make a fire seal. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Lower Common, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

Different surfaces, different methods
Door frames
Frame gaps are normally hidden behind the architrave. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details before the trim goes back.
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We measure the gap at its widest point against the product’s tested range.
Common problems we fix in Lower Common
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
If you look after a building such as Charles Kingsley's Church of England Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
