Workplaces and buildings in Tutts Clump

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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.

For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bradfield C.E. Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. For landlords with property near Aldermaston station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Tutts Clump

Deciding which gaps need fire stopping is not our role; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. Typical jobs include sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and fire stopping disturbed by later work, on flats & HMOs, linear gaps and pipe & cable gaps.

In a village or hamlet like Tutts Clump, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.

Surface by surface

Plasterboard walls

Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach.

Door frames

We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Tutts Clump?

Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

Holes left by a change of layout
Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant

Community buildings like St Peter's Church are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

How to look after the new joints

To keep the joints looking good and working properly:

Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back

Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.

Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the job gets bigger.

What happens if it’s left?

Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing once someone inspects it. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Tutts Clump, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

Can I do it myself?

What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.

If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Tutts Clump

Will you come out to Tutts Clump?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.

Can you help a landlord with a rental near Aldermaston station?

Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.

What do you put in the joint?

Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we are using.

Will we have a record of what was sealed?

Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. If you need photos or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.

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.

Will there be a smell?

There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Ventilation helps.

Do you take out the old sealant first?

Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.

Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?

Yes. Occupied flats, HMOs, offices and schools are all fine and we plan access around the people using them. Out-of-hours work can be arranged.

The process

The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating. The job usually takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. For a village or hamlet like Tutts Clump, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.

Before we arrive

Tell us about any water getting in
Keep children and pets away from the work area
Move anything stored near the joints
