Moulsford Fire Rated Sealant
Our applicators work in Moulsford on intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and a one-year guarantee.

Fire rated sealant in Moulsford, done properly
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. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. Typical jobs include linear gaps at the head of walls and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed, across door frames, pipe & cable gaps and plasterboard & masonry.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Moulsford, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
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.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
How the visit works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are from start to finish. Somewhere as small as Moulsford, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Questions from Moulsford
Do you work for landlords with property near Cholsey station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Moulsford?
Yes. Moulsford is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
That isn’t something we state or certify. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we apply a product tested for it with a record of each location.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. We agree access and the order of work with you first.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Standard sealants aren’t made or tested to stop fire. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used for your files.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Fire rated sealant around Moulsford
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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 let a flat or house near Cholsey station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St John the Baptist, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Cranford House School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

How we quote for fire rated sealant

- Access and height
- How much there is to do
- How many areas need sealing
- Any mould that needs treating
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- The type of property
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details, and pictures are welcome.
Why it’s worth doing now in Moulsford
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Getting them done and written up gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Older cottages and farmhouses around Moulsford can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

When it is not the sealant
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
Do not drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is usually a straightforward job.
