Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Prestwood
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping isn’t our role; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. Typical jobs include holes left by a change of layout and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, on plasterboard & masonry, pipe & cable gaps and service penetrations.
In a smaller place like Prestwood, 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.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Buckinghamshire.

Common questions in Prestwood
Is Prestwood within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is Prestwood in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Prestwood is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Where do you work from?
We are based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself usually takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, depending on the amount of work. A visit to Prestwood is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Related advice
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Prestwood
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Schools such as Prestwood Junior School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Letting a property close to Great Missenden station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Common problems we fix in Prestwood
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Holy Trinity Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Prestwood
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The product the joint needs
- When we can work, for business premises
- The size of the job
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- How we’d reach the joints
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes aren’t treated the same. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail and we flag any that need another system.
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product and record where they are.
