Fire rated sealant in Stone Copse
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. We work on service penetrations, door frames and flats & HMOs, and the jobs we see most are damaged fire sealant left by other trades and old fire sealant that has split or come away.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Stone Copse, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

When to call us in Stone Copse
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
Community buildings like Parish Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

- Which sealant they’ll use, and why

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number of rooms or windows
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Questions from Stone Copse
I let a flat near Newbury Racecourse station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Stone Copse within the area you cover?
Yes, Stone Copse is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, wherever you are.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It might close the gap, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal. Use a product tested for that gap and service, or ask us to do it.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself.
How the visit works
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a small place like Stone Copse, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit 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.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Move anything stored near the joints

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is usually a straightforward job.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on

Fire rated sealant in Stone Copse: local notes
Stone Copse has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed. 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.
Managing a site like Fir Tree Primary School and Nursery? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Letting a property close to Newbury Racecourse station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
