Fire Rated Sealant in Owlsmoor
Fire-stopping gaps in Owlsmoor need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a 12-month guarantee.

How we handle fire rated sealant in Owlsmoor
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. If you’re dealing with cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and damaged fire sealant left by other trades, we can put it right.
If you run a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Owlsmoor, the washrooms and kitchen need the same attention as a big site, and fire-rated sealant around service openings should be restored after new pipes or cables go through.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a job in Owlsmoor, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any tricky access

Advice
What we’re called out for in Owlsmoor
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It may look fine, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
For landlords with property near Sandhurst station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
Before you book anyone
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How much experience the applicator has
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.

Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. We regularly work in flats, HMOs, schools and offices while they’re in use, with access planned around residents or staff. Early starts or out-of-hours work can be arranged.

- The type of sealant required

What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The type of property
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.
What we can’t put right
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It won’t solve:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Fire rated sealant in Owlsmoor: local notes
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Community buildings like St George's Church are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Managing a site like Owlsmoor Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
