Fire rated sealant in Shillingford, done properly
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor. If you share the list, we can quote for the gaps that need fire-rated sealant. If you are dealing with gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Shillingford, 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 Shillingford as everywhere else we work.

Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product and record where they are.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot and we’ll tell you which one you have.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.

What else we do in Shillingford
What we are called out for in Shillingford
Door frames are a common weak spot. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Open gaps behind door architraves
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Laurence Church of England (A) School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
What to look for in a quote
- Are they insured?
- How much experience the applicator has
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How long to leave it before use
Questions from Shillingford
Do you work for landlords with property near Cholsey station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Shillingford?
Yes, Shillingford is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in, so you have it on file.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere as small as Shillingford, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Move anything stored near the joints

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant

- Any mould that needs treating
- The size of the job

Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The type of property

Why act early in Shillingford
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 small place like Shillingford, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why book with us
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- We are fully insured
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- 4.9 on Google from 180+ five-star reviews
Fire rated sealant around Shillingford
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. Shillingford has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Community buildings like Church of St Lawrence are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. If you let a flat or house near Cholsey station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
