Your questions about fire rated sealant in Shaw
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Shaw?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Do you work for landlords with property near Newbury Racecourse station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we’re fully insured.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam isn’t tested as fire stopping. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
About our fire rated sealant in Shaw
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. We work on flats & HMOs, pipe & cable gaps and door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and fire stopping disturbed by later work.
For a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Shaw, its washrooms and kitchen need the same sealant care as any big building.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

Why deal with it now?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job and needn’t wait for anything else. In a smaller place like Shaw, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Why us?
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- We are fully insured

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we seal
- Door frames
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
When to call us in Shaw
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust won’t perform as it was tested. Rushed fire stopping is common.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
Letting a property close to Newbury Racecourse station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Fire rated sealant in Shaw: local notes
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Shaw. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed. 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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Schools such as St Joseph's Catholic Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Community buildings like Parish Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.

- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
