Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Winterbourne
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That detail is what we take care over, gap by gap. We are often asked to deal with linear gaps at the head of walls and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated, across linear gaps, flats & HMOs and pipe & cable gaps.
In a village or hamlet like Winterbourne, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Fire rated sealant in Winterbourne: local notes
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For landlords with property near Selling station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. If you look after a building such as Boughton-under-Blean and Dunkirk Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. For buildings such as Christ Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Why it’s worth doing now in Winterbourne
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the work involved is often modest. In a small place like Winterbourne, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Common questions in Winterbourne
Is Winterbourne within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is Winterbourne in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Winterbourne is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. That’s for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. If you need photos or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
The process
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere like Winterbourne needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about parking restrictions

What else we do in Winterbourne
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is usually a straightforward job.
For landlords and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
How the job changes by surface
Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We work along the whole run.
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 so the architrave can be refitted.
What affects the quote in Winterbourne
You will get a clear quote before we start. It’s based on:
