How we handle fire rated sealant in Uffington
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. If you have open holes round services passing through fire walls and linear gaps at the head of walls, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Uffington, 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.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

What else we do in Uffington
Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance to keep disruption down.
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each, and tell you if sealant alone is not the right fix.
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
FAQs for Uffington
Is there a guarantee on fire rated sealant in Uffington?
All our work, in Uffington and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Uffington?
Yes, Uffington is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Uffington, along with the rest of our area.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we will agree it with you first.
What affects the quote in Uffington
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Access and height
- When we can work, for business premises
- Mould in or behind the old joints
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- The type of property
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Whether it has been sealed before
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll talk you through the work and give you a clear quote.
What we’re called out for in Uffington
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
Community buildings like Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is chosen
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What preparation is included
- How hidden problems are handled

Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Fire rated sealant around Uffington
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.
If you look after a building such as Uffington Church of England Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
