Fire rated sealant in Puttenham
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk does not make it fire-rated. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. Common call-outs are for new service routes left unsealed after building work and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant, on pipe & cable gaps, plasterboard & masonry and linear gaps.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Puttenham, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.

Are you ARBOMaster approved?

Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant, to the product’s details. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
A typical job takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.

No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use fitted to the maker’s details.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.

What else we do in Puttenham
Commercial buildings in Puttenham
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.
If you look after a building such as Puttenham CofE Infant School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. For landlords with property near Wanborough station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. It normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Puttenham needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is 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.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: 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.
When it is not the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Door frames
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps
How the job changes by surface
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Linear gaps
Linear gaps run along the head of walls, at floor edges and between panels. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Puttenham
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
People generally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
For buildings such as Church of St John the Baptist, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
