Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Ambrosden
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor for buildings in Ambrosden. Send us the list or the survey and we will quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. If you have cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and open gaps behind door architraves, we can help, whatever the surface.
In a smaller place like Ambrosden, commercial jobs tend to be smaller buildings: a pub, a surgery, a school, a shop or a few business units. Each needs the same care with its sealant as any larger building.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Surface by surface
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail, and we will tell you.
What sealant work cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

Workplaces and buildings in Ambrosden
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Schools such as Five Acres Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Letting a property close to Bicester Village station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, depending on the size of the job. For a job in Ambrosden, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. 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.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Landlord and commercial work in Ambrosden
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Landlords and letting agents in Ambrosden can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.

Other services in Ambrosden
Do you need fire rated sealant in Ambrosden?
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
Before you book anyone
- How the colour is chosen
- Is VAT in the price?
- Who turns up on the day
- When the joint can take water or movement
Leave it or put it right?
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 sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. In an older home around Ambrosden, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
