Why act early in Martins Heron
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. In a smaller place like Martins Heron, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

How we handle fire rated sealant in Martins Heron
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. If you have gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and open gaps behind door architraves, we can put it right.
In a smaller place like Martins Heron, commercial jobs tend to be smaller buildings: a pub, a surgery, a school, a shop or a few business units. The work is the same as in a big building, just on a smaller scale.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, depending on how much there is to do. In a smaller place like Martins Heron, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- 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.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Advice
Martins Heron questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Martins Heron station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you cover Martins Heron for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Martins Heron is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent means it swells when heated, helping close the gap. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
What we are called out for in Martins Heron
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 may look fine, but it is not a fire-rated seal.
The most common problems we see are:
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Open gaps behind door architraves
Schools such as Harmans Water Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

Workplaces and buildings in Martins Heron
Bracknell, which Martins Heron is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. Like the other new towns, Bracknell was planned with its own areas for industry and business, so workplaces sit close to the homes. Each has washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints to keep in order. 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.

How the job changes by surface
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 sealant bonds.
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail, and tell you if sealant alone isn’t the right fix.
