About our fire rated sealant in Ascott Earl
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. Typical jobs include gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment, on plasterboard & masonry, door frames and linear gaps.
Somewhere as small as Ascott Earl, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.

Why deal with it now?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest doesn’t make a fire seal. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. Older cottages and farmhouses around Ascott Earl can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is normally a straightforward job.

What fire rating will the seal have?

Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
