Fire rated sealant in Newnham Murren
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor for buildings in Newnham Murren. Send us the list or the survey and we’ll quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. Common call-outs are for sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant, across plasterboard & masonry, linear gaps and door frames.
In a village or hamlet like Newnham Murren, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number of rooms or windows
- The size of the job
- Working hours on commercial sites
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
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 add photos by email if you can.
Why deal with it now?
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. In a small place like Newnham Murren, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start.
Why book with us
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.
When it isn’t the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Newnham Murren
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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Crowmarsh Gifford Church of England School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. 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. For buildings such as Church of St Mary Magdalene, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
