What sealant work can’t fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.

Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Sutton Wick
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping is not our role; 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. Typical jobs include joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and damaged fire sealant left by other trades, across flats & HMOs, door frames and service penetrations.
Somewhere as small as Sutton Wick, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Sutton Wick needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
Sutton Wick questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Appleford station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Sutton Wick?
Yes, Sutton Wick is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent means it swells when heated to help seal the gap. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant, to the product’s details. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. The order of work and access are planned with you.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Sutton Wick?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing and where.
What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We check the gap size around the service against the product’s tested range.
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before we start.
Common problems we fix in Sutton Wick
Gaps also open up as buildings move: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
If you look after a building such as Drayton Community Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Fire rated sealant around Sutton Wick
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’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Letting a property close to Appleford station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. Community buildings like Church of Saint Peter are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

There’s no set price list. What we look at:

- The number and length of the joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
