- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
Fire rated sealant in Pangbourne
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. Typical jobs include gaps left after a refit or conversion and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment, across flats & HMOs, pipe & cable gaps and door frames.
In a smaller place like Pangbourne, commercial jobs tend to be smaller buildings: a pub, a surgery, a school, a shop or a few business units. The work is the same as in a big building, just on a smaller scale.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Leave it or put it right?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. Around Pangbourne, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Why book with us
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- 20+ years of sealant experience

Commercial buildings in Pangbourne
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Pangbourne. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed. 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.
If you look after a building such as Pangbourne Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. If you let a flat or house near Pangbourne station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Pangbourne
Do you take on hotel work around Pangbourne?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Will you come out to Pangbourne?
Yes. Pangbourne is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We don’t give ratings or certificates for our work. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it with a record of each location.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot, helping close the gap. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the seal has something sound to bond to.
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Pangbourne?
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
Community buildings like Church of St James the Less are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. For a job in Pangbourne, 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.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
