Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Medmenham
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through. We work on pipe & cable gaps, plasterboard & masonry and door frames, and people most often call us about unsealed gaps around fire door frames and linear gaps at the head of walls.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Medmenham, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere as small as Medmenham, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
How to get a quote
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that’s easy.
Advice
What fire rated sealant looks like in Medmenham
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Medmenham. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on. 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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Letting a property close to Henley-On-Thames station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

When to call us in Medmenham
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
Managing a site like Danesfield School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Common questions in Medmenham
Will you come out to Medmenham?
Yes. Medmenham is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.

Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent means it swells when heated. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.

Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Surface by surface
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail and we will flag it.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Leave it or put it right?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now means you can show the action was taken. Around Medmenham, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

What sealant work cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
