Why act early in Sherfield on Loddon
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now means you can show the action was taken. Around Sherfield on Loddon, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

How we handle fire rated sealant in Sherfield on Loddon
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. If you have ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, we can help, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Sherfield on Loddon, 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.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Sherfield on Loddon as everywhere else we work.

How the job changes by surface
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail and we’ll flag it.
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 sealant bonds.
When to call us in Sherfield on Loddon
Door frames are a common weak spot. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
Letting a property close to Bramley (Hants) station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
What your quote should include
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
Fire rated sealant around Sherfield on Loddon
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Schools such as Sherfield School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St. Leonard, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and get them seen to.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is normally a straightforward job.
DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
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.

Common questions in Sherfield on Loddon
Is Sherfield on Loddon within the area you cover?
Yes. Sherfield on Loddon is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one option among several. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for a year. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product.
Where are you based?

Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- When we can work, for business premises
- The type of sealant required
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first.

- The problem you’ve noticed
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job.
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere as small as Sherfield on Loddon, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
