Fire Rated Sealant in Stroud
We cover Stroud for intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
Fire rated sealant in Stroud
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. We are often asked to deal with door frames with gaps between frame and wall and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant, across plasterboard & masonry, service penetrations and pipe & cable gaps.
In a village or hamlet like Stroud, 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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Fire rated sealant around Stroud
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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Schools such as Langrish Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Letting a property close to Petersfield station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. For a village or hamlet like Stroud, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Related advice
Stroud questions
Do you cover smaller places like Stroud?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Petersfield station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam is not tested as fire stopping. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one of the options. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. We work in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other commercial buildings, including occupied ones. We agree access and the order of work with you first.
How the job changes by surface
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
We don’t publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether the work is at height
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The rough size of the job
- Where the property is
To get a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. We’ll send you a clear quote before any work starts.
Common problems we fix in Stroud
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it is not installed as tested. Rushed fire stopping is common.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Stroud Mission Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
