About our fire rated sealant in Riseley
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk does not make it fire-rated. Anything unsuitable comes out first and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. Common call-outs are for unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and open joints along the top of partitions, on linear gaps, door frames and service penetrations.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Riseley, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Surface by surface
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail and we flag any that need another system.
Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We work along the whole run.
FAQs for Riseley
Is Riseley in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Riseley is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Will you come out to Riseley?
Yes, Riseley is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Tell us how the building is used and we’ll plan around it.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No, assessment isn’t something we do. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
The process
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere as small as Riseley, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Related advice
What fire rated sealant looks like in Riseley
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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
For landlords with property near Mortimer station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Around Riseley
In Riseley, that means homes and buildings near The Bull at Riseley pub and Wellington Country Park and the streets around them. Riseley’s nearest station is Mortimer station, about 3.2 miles west. A little further out are Beaumys Castle (1.2 miles north-west). Not far away are The Marshes Local Nature Reserve and Longwater.
Should I try it myself first?
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.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What we are called out for in Riseley
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service isn’t always sealed again.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of All Saints, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

- The product the joint needs

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Do not drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
