Fire Rated Sealant in Shottesbrooke
Our applicators work in Shottesbrooke on intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly.
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Fire rated sealant in Shottesbrooke
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. If you have unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and old fire sealant that has split or come away, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Shottesbrooke, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What the job involves on each 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.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Shottesbrooke
Will you come out to Shottesbrooke?
Yes. Shottesbrooke is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is Shottesbrooke in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Shottesbrooke is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. Occupied flats, HMOs, offices and schools are all fine and we plan access around the people using them. Out-of-hours work can be arranged.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. For a village or hamlet like Shottesbrooke, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- 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.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any tricky access
- Move anything stored near the joints

Related advice
Do you need fire rated sealant in Shottesbrooke?
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
Letting a property close to Twyford station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Why act early in Shottesbrooke
For some gaps, sealant isn’t the right answer and another system is needed. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. We’ll say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Around Shottesbrooke, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

Workplaces and buildings in Shottesbrooke
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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St John the Baptist, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Managing a site like Cox Green School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. 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.
