About our fire rated sealant in Sindlesham
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; in a fire it expands into the joint. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. We are often asked to deal with linear gaps at the head of walls and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers, across flats & HMOs, linear gaps and door frames.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Sindlesham, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Sindlesham as everywhere else we work.

Common questions in Sindlesham
Do you work for landlords with property near Winnersh station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Sindlesham?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Sindlesham is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Leave it or put it right?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing when the building is next checked. In a small place like Sindlesham, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

What else we do in Sindlesham
What fire rated sealant looks like in Sindlesham
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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.
Schools such as Bearwood Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Community buildings like Church of St Catherine 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 Winnersh station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
Sindlesham is about 2 miles north-west of Wokingham, in Wokingham. Our applicators cover fire rated sealant for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Sindlesham, as part of our work across Wokingham. 35 places in Wokingham are on our list, large and small.

What we can’t put right
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It won’t solve:
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is usually a straightforward job.
Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
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.
What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere as small as Sindlesham, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- 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.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
