Why act early in Whitchurch-on-Thames
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. In a small place like Whitchurch-on-Thames, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll talk you through it.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Whitchurch-on-Thames
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it is not installed as tested. Rushed fire stopping is common.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
For buildings such as Church of St Mary, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We measure the gap at its widest point against the product’s tested range.
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Common questions in Whitchurch-on-Thames
Will you come out to Whitchurch-on-Thames?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Pangbourne station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
What fire rating will the seal have?
Ratings and certificates are not something we issue. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer; we install to those details and record what we did.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. We regularly work in flats, HMOs, schools and offices while they’re in use, with access planned around residents or staff. Out-of-hours work can be arranged where it’s needed.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. If you need photos or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
