Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Marlow Common
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. Typical jobs include gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated, across linear gaps, service penetrations and door frames.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Marlow Common, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
For landlords and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The product the joint needs
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The number and length of the joints
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Where the property is
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Any previous sealing or DIY work

Workplaces and buildings in Marlow Common
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.

Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust won’t perform as it was tested. Rushed fire stopping is common particularly when it was the last job before handover.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
If you let a flat or house near Marlow station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

What the job involves on each surface
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified, flat by flat if needed.
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the seal has something sound to bond to.
