Commercial buildings in Woosehill
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Woosehill. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Rented homes near Wokingham station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. If you look after a building such as Windmill Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

More services for Woosehill
Do you need fire rated sealant in Woosehill?
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Woosehill Community Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
Questions to ask before you book
- What product goes in the joint
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What the cure time is
- What happens if the job turns out different
How the job changes by surface
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified.
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement from the manufacturer’s details.
Questions from Woosehill
I let a flat near Wokingham station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Woosehill 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.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot, helping close the gap. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used.
The process
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. A visit to Woosehill is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Woosehill
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now means you can show the action was taken. In a smaller place like Woosehill, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
We don’t publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- The size of the job
- Access and height
- The type of sealant required
- Mould in or behind the old joints
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Where the property is
- Roughly how big the job is
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
We quote each job on its own. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.
