How we handle fire rated sealant in Stratfield Mortimer
Landlords, managing agents and facilities teams use us for the sealant items on a fire risk assessment. If you share the list, we can quote for the gaps that need fire-rated sealant. If you’re dealing with fire seals that have cracked with movement and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers, we can help, on door frames, linear gaps and flats & HMOs alike.
In a village or hamlet like Stratfield Mortimer, 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.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we have gone.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is normally a straightforward job.
Different surfaces, different methods
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement, following the tested detail.
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Commercial buildings in Stratfield Mortimer
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For buildings such as Saint John The Evangelist, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Mortimer St Mary's C.E. Junior School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Stratfield Mortimer?
Gaps also open up as buildings move: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
For landlords with property near Mortimer station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, including the tidy-up. Somewhere as small as Stratfield Mortimer, 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.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
