In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Fire rated sealant in Winnersh
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. If you’re dealing with unsealed gaps around fire door frames and open joints along the top of partitions, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Around a place like Winnersh, halls, schools and small businesses all have washrooms and kitchens used by many people. Sealant and fire-rated joints there matter as much as in any larger building.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Wokingham.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Winnersh
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you look after a building such as The Forest School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Mary the Virgin, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Surface by surface
Door frames
Frame gaps are generally 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.
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Winnersh?
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
For landlords with property near Winnersh station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
What your quote should include
- How hidden problems are handled
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What the cure time is
- Who turns up on the day
When something else is needed
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
What happens on the day
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Parking around Winnersh is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- 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
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Related advice
Why act early in Winnersh
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. On its own, sealing it now is a small job that doesn’t depend on other work. In a smaller place like Winnersh, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Winnersh
Is Winnersh within the area you cover?
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.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Winnersh station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant and which one is used depends on the job.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. We record the locations we’ve sealed and the products used for your files.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before work begins.
