How we handle fire rated sealant in Wanborough
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That’s the part we focus on. If you are dealing with fire seals that have cracked with movement and linear gaps at the head of walls, we can help, on pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and linear gaps alike.
Somewhere as small as Wanborough, 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.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee.

Why deal with it now?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that does not follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. Around Wanborough, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Why us?
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- We’re fully insured

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In a small place like Wanborough, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. We use a product tested in that kind of wall for each gap size.
Flats and HMOs
Conversions generally leave a mix of old and new service holes. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product and the locations noted.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Wanborough
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 are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Community buildings like Church of St Bartholomew are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Rented homes near Wanborough station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is generally a straightforward job.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Wanborough
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
The most common problems we see are:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
Managing a site like Puttenham CofE Infant School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
