Fire rated sealant in Ascott d'Oyley
We do not assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. We work on plasterboard & masonry, flats & HMOs and pipe & cable gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are open gaps behind door architraves and linear gaps at the head of walls.
Somewhere as small as Ascott d'Oyley, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Why deal with it now?
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now means you can show the action was taken. Older cottages and farmhouses around Ascott d'Oyley can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why book with us
- Full insurance on every job
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- A 12-month guarantee on all work

Can you help a landlord with a rental near Ascott-Under-Wychwood station?

Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in so it’s there for the next inspection.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No, assessment is not something we do. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we will quote for the sealant work on it.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
When to call us in Ascott d'Oyley
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It may look fine, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of the Holy Trinity, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. We clean out dust and debris before sealing so the sealant bonds.
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance to keep disruption down.
Should I try it myself first?
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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Commercial buildings in Ascott d'Oyley
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you let a flat or house near Ascott-Under-Wychwood station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- When we can work, for business premises
- Any mould that needs treating
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.
