Specialist fire rated sealant for Sunningdale: careful preparation, the right product and tidy work. Ask us for a quick quote.
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some can’t, so ask us which we used.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so you can show it was dealt with.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Sunningdale
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. We work on plasterboard & masonry, service penetrations and door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant.
Commercial work around a smaller place like Sunningdale generally means a pub, a shop, a school or small business units rather than office blocks. Each needs the same care with its sealant as any larger building.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Why it’s worth doing now in Sunningdale
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. In an older home around Sunningdale, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What you get with us
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas

What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

DIY versus a professional finish
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.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Sunningdale
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Sunningdale station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Sunningdale?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Is it messy?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
The process
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. A visit to Sunningdale is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
What fire rated sealant looks like in Sunningdale
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’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Managing a site like Holy Trinity CofE Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Rented homes near Sunningdale station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. For buildings such as Holy Trinity Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
