Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Midgham Green
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it, so we follow the tested detail for each one. We’re often asked to deal with old fire sealant that has split or come away and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, on flats & HMOs, pipe & cable gaps and door frames.
Work in a small place like Midgham Green is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Berkshire.

When something else is needed
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It will not solve:
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Midgham Green
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
For landlords with property near Midgham station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Midgham Green
Is Midgham Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Midgham Green is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you cover Midgham Green for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Midgham Green is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent means it swells when heated. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.
Surface by 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.
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach and we will flag it.
How the visit works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are for a typical job. Somewhere as small as Midgham Green, 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.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Fire rated sealant around Midgham Green

Managing a site like Woolhampton C.E. Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Community buildings like Church of St Matthew are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Why deal with it now?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Getting them done and written up means you can show the action was taken. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Midgham Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first.
