About our fire rated sealant in Old Wolverton
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That detail is what we take care over. If you are dealing with open joints along the top of partitions and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap, we can help.
In a smaller place like Old Wolverton, commercial jobs tend to be smaller buildings: a pub, a surgery, a school, a shop or a few business units. Each needs the same care with its sealant as any larger building.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Parking around Old Wolverton is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Clear the area around the work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Old Wolverton
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it is not installed as tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried, especially where it was squeezed in at the end of a project.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Holy Trinity Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
What your quote should include
- What happens if the job turns out different
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Whether the work is at height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The type of sealant required
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first.
Helping us quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- The type of property
- The address or postcode of the job
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If someone has resealed it before
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.
Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. The gap is cleaned and backed where required before the sealant goes in.
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in.
FAQs for Old Wolverton
Do you work for landlords with property near Wolverton station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Old Wolverton?
Yes. Old Wolverton 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.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. It looks sealed but won’t perform as fire stopping. A tested fire-rated product is needed, or ask us to do it.
What does intumescent mean?
Intumescent means it swells when heated, helping close the gap. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Where do you work from?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Old Wolverton
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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details. Old Wolverton has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
If you look after a building such as Wyvern School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Rented homes near Wolverton station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Why act early in Old Wolverton
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. In an older home around Old Wolverton, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
