About our fire rated sealant in Whitchurch
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor for buildings in Whitchurch. If you share the list, we can quote for the gaps that need fire-rated sealant. We work on plasterboard & masonry, service penetrations and flats & HMOs, and people most often call us about open gaps behind door architraves and holes left by a change of layout.
If you run a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Whitchurch, its washrooms and kitchen need the same sealant care as any big building, and fire-rated sealant around service openings should be restored after new pipes or cables go through.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Whitchurch as everywhere else we work.

What we’re called out for in Whitchurch
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of All Hallows, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Why it’s worth doing now in Whitchurch
Sealant is not the fix for every opening. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. We’ll say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Homes in smaller places like Whitchurch can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why book with us
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over

What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Quotes for fire rated sealant in Whitchurch
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The size of the job
- The product the joint needs
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- The rough size of the job
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

How the visit works

It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are.

- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
