Advice
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Nuptown
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. If you have unsealed gaps around fire door frames and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated, we can put it right.
For a small place like Nuptown, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will quote.
Letting agents and landlords in Nuptown can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you are 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.

Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
What does intumescent mean?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot, helping close the gap. 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. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.

- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor

Workplaces and buildings in Nuptown
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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For buildings such as Church of St Michael and All Angels, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Letting a property close to Bracknell station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. We use a product tested in that kind of wall for the gap we are sealing.

In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified.
