When to call us in Stockcross
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service isn’t always sealed again.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
Managing a site like Stockcross C.E. School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- How long to leave it before use
- What insurance they hold
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Fire rated sealant around Stockcross
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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.
For landlords with property near Newbury station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St John, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Can you work in occupied buildings?

Will you leave a mess?

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Door frames
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations
Different surfaces, different methods
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist, and we’ll say if we spot a problem with them.
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.

Leave it or put it right?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. Work that does not follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. Older cottages and farmhouses around Stockcross can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
