Do you need fire rated sealant in Shepherd's Green?
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it isn’t installed as tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Peppard Church of England Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Do you carry out fire risk assessments?

Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
Ratings and certificates are not something we issue. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves, and we install to them.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before we start.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame

Other services in Shepherd's Green
Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard for each gap size.
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Shepherd's Green
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll quote.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own and needn’t wait for anything else. Around Shepherd's Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Shepherd's Green
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’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Community buildings like Church of St Nicholas are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Rented homes near Henley-On-Thames station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
