That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. We work on pipe & cable gaps, door frames and service penetrations, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and linear gaps at the head of walls.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Ryeish Green, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The amount of work
- When we can work, for business premises
- Mould in or behind the old joints
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- The rough size of the job
- Where the property is
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you’re ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Leave it or put it right?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now means you can show the action was taken. Older cottages and farmhouses around Ryeish Green can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
What you get with us
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- We’re fully insured
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
What sealant work can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
- Door frames
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
Surface by surface
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
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.
FAQs for Ryeish Green
Do you cover smaller places like Ryeish Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Reading Green Park station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant and which one is used depends on the job.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Which products 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. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Ryeish Green?
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
Community buildings like St Michael and All Angels are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
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.
