How we handle fire rated sealant in Mill Green
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. If you’re dealing with linear gaps at the head of walls and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey, we can put it right, on door frames, service penetrations and flats & HMOs alike.
For a small place like Mill Green, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Fire rated sealant around Mill Green
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you let a flat or house near Thatcham station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Community buildings like Church of St Peter are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard for each gap size.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Mill Green
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it isn’t installed as tested. Rushed fire stopping is common particularly when it was the last job before handover.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
Managing a site like Cheam School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they’re fully insured

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes.
What affects the quote in Mill Green
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The product the joint needs
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How easy the joints are to reach
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
Every job is quoted individually, so start by telling us what you need. Simply ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and describe the job and send photos if you have them.
Why act early in Mill Green
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Older cottages and farmhouses around Mill Green can have timber 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: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
