Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Sulham
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. If you have gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and gaps left after a refit or conversion, we can help, on service penetrations, linear gaps and plasterboard & masonry alike.
For a small place like Sulham, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Why it’s worth doing now in Sulham
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. How it’s installed changes how it performs, and we work to the product details every time. Around Sulham, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

What the job involves on each surface
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We seal them along their full length so there are no open sections left.
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. The gap is cleaned and backed where required before the sealant goes in.
What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Common problems we fix in Sulham
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service is not always sealed again.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
For landlords with property near Pangbourne station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Fire rated sealant around Sulham
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Sulham. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on. 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.
For buildings such as Church of St Nicholas, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Schools such as Denefield School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Advice
Also in Sulham
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
