About our fire rated sealant in Wash Common
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. We work on pipe & cable gaps, linear gaps and flats & HMOs, and common reasons people get in touch are holes left by a change of layout and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey.
If you run a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Wash Common, the washrooms and kitchen need the same attention as a big site.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. A visit to Wash Common is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can be quoted together.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.

Common problems we fix in Wash Common
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Falkland Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Fire rated sealant around Wash Common
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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Community buildings like St Luke Church are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. For landlords with property near Newbury station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Why it’s worth doing now in Wash Common
Sealant isn’t the fix for every opening. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. If a gap is not suitable for sealant, we’ll tell you. In an older home around Wash Common, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Why us?
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Old sealant always removed completely
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
