Fire rated sealant in Tidmarsh
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. We work on flats & HMOs, plasterboard & masonry and service penetrations, and common reasons people get in touch are unsealed gaps around fire door frames and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs.
For a small place like Tidmarsh, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere like Tidmarsh 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.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear the area around the work
Ask for a quote
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job and send photos if you have them.
Advice
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded.
Why deal with it now?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest doesn’t make a fire seal. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. In a small place like Tidmarsh, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

Questions from Tidmarsh
Do you work in hotels near Tidmarsh?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.

Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Tidmarsh?

Common problems we fix in Tidmarsh
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
If you let a flat or house near Pangbourne station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Fire rated sealant in Tidmarsh: local notes
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Tidmarsh. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed. Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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.
If you look after a building such as Pangbourne Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. For buildings such as Church of St Laurence, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
