Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Rotherfield Peppard
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. Common call-outs are for gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant, on flats & HMOs, pipe & cable gaps and door frames.
Somewhere as small as Rotherfield Peppard, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Workplaces and buildings in Rotherfield Peppard
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you let a flat or house near Henley-On-Thames station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Community buildings like Church of All Saints are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

What the job involves on each surface
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement.
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in over any backing the detail calls for.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
You will get a clear quote before any work starts. It’s based on:
- The size of the job
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The rough size of the job
We quote each job on its own. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details and send photos if you have them.
What sealant work cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations
Common problems we fix in Rotherfield Peppard
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It looks sealed, but it isn’t fire-rated.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
Schools such as Peppard Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
