Fire rated sealant in Ardley, done properly
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. We work on door frames, service penetrations and linear gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls.
In a village or hamlet like Ardley, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded.
When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

- Service penetrations

Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job. Older cottages and farmhouses around Ardley can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

When to call us in Ardley
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
Rented homes near Bicester North station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
Questions to ask before booking
- Are they insured?
- The length of the guarantee
- How much experience the applicator has
- How the colour is chosen
Fire rated sealant in Ardley: local notes
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 Mary, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

How the job changes by surface
Door frames
Frame gaps are usually hidden behind the architrave. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size so the architrave can be refitted.
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. The gap is cleaned of dust first.
