Workplaces and buildings in Swanbourne
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Community buildings like Church of St Swithun are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Swanbourne
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. We are often asked to deal with gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and fire stopping disturbed by later work, across plasterboard & masonry, linear gaps and door frames.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Swanbourne, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Swanbourne and everywhere else we cover.

What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are from start to finish. Somewhere like Swanbourne needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Move anything stored near the joints

What does fire rated sealant cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before we start.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We don’t issue ratings or certificates ourselves. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves, and we install to them.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Tell us how the building is used and we will plan around it.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
When to call us in Swanbourne
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
Managing a site like Swanbourne Church of England VA School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
For landlords and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Swanbourne and across Milton Keynes. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured for the work.
Letting agents and landlords in Swanbourne can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. The gap is cleaned and backed where required.
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance to keep disruption down.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
