Fire Rated Sealant in Wargrave
We cover Wargrave for intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
What we are called out for in Wargrave
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Open joints along the top of partitions
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary, 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
- What preparation is included
- How much experience the applicator has
- Are they insured?
Fire rated sealant in Wargrave
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate. If you are dealing with unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and door frames with gaps between frame and wall, we can help, whatever the surface.
Commercial work around a smaller place like Wargrave generally means a pub, a shop, a school or small business units rather than office blocks. Each needs the same care with its sealant as any larger building.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It won’t solve:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Service penetrations

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- How much there is to do
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Any mould that needs treating
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- The rough size of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.
DIY versus a professional finish
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
Do not drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.
Different surfaces, different methods
Door frames
Frame gaps are normally hidden behind the architrave. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size before the trim goes back.
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both, following the tested detail.
The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. For a job in Wargrave, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice
Questions from Wargrave
Do you cover Wargrave for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Wargrave is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Wargrave?
Yes, Wargrave is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you’ll get one quote.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No, assessment is not something we do. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used to keep with your fire safety documents.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it is not a fire-rated seal. Use a product tested for that gap and service and we can apply it for you.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.

We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
