Fire rated sealant in Woodlands St Mary
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping is not our role; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. Typical jobs include joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, on pipe & cable gaps, plasterboard & masonry and flats & HMOs.
For a small place like Woodlands St Mary, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

We protect the rest, and the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are in most cases.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Woodlands St Mary?
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
If you let a flat or house near Hungerford station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Questions from Woodlands St Mary
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Hungerford station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Woodlands St Mary?
Yes. Woodlands St Mary is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Woodlands St Mary?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
What should I tell you?
Tell us what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for every job we do.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one option among several. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Why deal with it now?
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the work involved is often modest. In a small place like Woodlands St Mary, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Woodlands St Mary
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.
For buildings such as St Mary's Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist and we’ll mention anything we notice.
Linear gaps
Linear gaps run along the head of walls, at floor edges and between panels. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
