Fire rated sealant in Winterbrook
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk does not make it fire-rated. We cut out the wrong material and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. Common call-outs are for gaps left after a refit or conversion and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers, on pipe & cable gaps, linear gaps and door frames.
For a small place like Winterbrook, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Winterbrook
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.
Schools such as Cholsey Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St John the Baptist's Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Surface by surface
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. We use a product tested in that kind of wall for each gap size.
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the seal has something sound to bond to.
FAQs for Winterbrook

Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
What fire rating will the seal have?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and list the locations and products for you.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. It looks sealed but will not perform as fire stopping. Use a product tested for that gap and service, or ask us to do it.

How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, and the area is left clean. Somewhere like Winterbrook needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us if parking is tricky

When something else is needed

- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution

When to call us in Winterbrook
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.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
If you let a flat or house near Cholsey station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
What your quote should include
- What product goes in the joint
- What insurance they hold
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Who turns up on the day
What happens if it’s left?
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, and we work to the product details every time. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Winterbrook, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
