Fire rated sealant in Tokers Green, done properly
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. We work on door frames, service penetrations and plasterboard & masonry, and people most often call us about seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and old fire sealant that has split or come away.
Somewhere as small as Tokers Green, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Tokers Green and everywhere else we cover.

Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?

Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We do not issue ratings or certificates ourselves. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer.
Where are you based?
We are a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
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
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Any fire seal that’s cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
When to call us in Tokers Green
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.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
Community buildings like Church of St John the Baptist are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
What your quote should include
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Is VAT in the price?
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
What fire rated sealant looks like in Tokers Green
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, 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.
For landlords with property near Tilehurst station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. If you look after a building such as Kidmore End Church of England Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

The process
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Tokers Green, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

How the job changes by surface
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail.
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
