Fire rated sealant in Streatley
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. We work on pipe & cable gaps, door frames and linear gaps, and the jobs we see most are open gaps behind door architraves and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment.
Work in a small place like Streatley is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- When we can work, for business premises
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number of rooms or windows
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- How we’d reach the joints
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If someone has resealed it before
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details, and photos are welcome.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint and we will tell you which one you have.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What happens if it’s left?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. On its own, sealing it now is a small job. In a small place like Streatley, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

Streatley: your questions answered
Do you work in hotels near Streatley?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Will you come out to Streatley?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we’re using.
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. We can always put it right if it fails.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured for every job we do.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, depending on the amount of work. In a small place like Streatley, 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.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- 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.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
Common problems we fix in Streatley
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
People generally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
For landlords with property near Goring & Streatley station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

- How much experience the applicator has

Workplaces and buildings in Streatley
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Streatley. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on. 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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Streatley C.E. Voluntary Controlled School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
