DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t 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, then guaranteed for a year.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Winterbourne
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Winterbourne and across West Berkshire. Several sites can be quoted together.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
When to call us in Winterbourne
Door frames are a common weak spot. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
Look out for any of the following:
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Holes left by a change of layout
If you let a flat or house near Newbury station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Fire rated sealant around Winterbourne
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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St James, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Managing a site like Mary Hare School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, so both the product and the method matter. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Winterbourne, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes and the list grows.
