Fire rated sealant around Ufton Nervet
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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Schools such as Sulhamstead and Ufton Nervet School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. For landlords with property near Aldermaston station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. For buildings such as Church of St Peter, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Fire rated sealant in Ufton Nervet, done properly
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. If you are dealing with open joints along the top of partitions and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated, we can put it right, on service penetrations, flats & HMOs and linear gaps alike.
In a village or hamlet like Ufton Nervet, 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.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

How the job changes by surface
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist, and we’ll say if we spot a problem with them.
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
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.

Should I try DIY first?

When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.

What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a village or hamlet like Ufton Nervet, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided 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.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Preparing for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us about any water getting in

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint, so ask us which we used.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
What happens if it’s left?
Sealant isn’t the fix for every opening. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. If a gap isn’t suitable for sealant, we’ll tell you. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Ufton Nervet, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will talk you through it.
