About fire rated sealant in Oxfordshire

Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. 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 are often asked to deal with open holes round services passing through fire walls and open gaps behind door architraves, across flats & HMOs, linear gaps and pipe & cable gaps.

Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are and we leave things clean and tidy.

We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.

How we quote

Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Commercial buildings across Oxfordshire

Hotels, landlords, schools and businesses across Oxfordshire all have sealant to keep in order. Washroom sealant is chosen for heavy use, and fire-rated sealant fitted to the product’s tested details.

Hard water across most of the South East leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. Whatever the job in Oxfordshire, surfaces are cleaned back properly before new sealant goes in.

Oxford: Rented homes near Oxford 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 church, hall or community building such as St Clement's Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Aftercare tips

A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:

Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb

Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.

Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the job gets bigger.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant

We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:

The size of the job
Mould in or behind the old joints
Access and height
The type of sealant required

Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Helping us quote

To make quoting easier, please include:

How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
A few photos by email, if you can
The problem you’ve noticed
The address or postcode of the job

For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved before giving you a price.

Leave it or put it right?

If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Getting them done and written up gives you evidence that the item was dealt with.

Should I try it myself first?

The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

Oxfordshire: your questions answered

Can you do several jobs on one visit?

Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient.

Will the old sealant be removed?

Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.

What fire rating will the seal have?

Ratings and certificates aren’t something we issue. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves.

Do I have to be there?

For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How long does fire rated sealant take?

As a guide, most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.

Where are you based?

We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Oxfordshire, along with the rest of our area.
