How we handle fire rated sealant in Marlow Bottom
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, with each location and product recorded. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. If you have gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and holes left by a change of layout, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Marlow Bottom, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Workplaces and buildings in Marlow Bottom
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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Marlow Bottom. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
For landlords with property near Marlow 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 Burford School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Community buildings like St Mary the Virgin are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before work begins to keep disruption down.
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes and the list grows.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- The number and length of the joints
- Access and height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll talk you through the work and give you a clear price.
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What sealant work cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How it works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere as small as Marlow Bottom, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
