Fire rated sealant around Aston Rowant
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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Schools such as Aston Rowant Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Aston Rowant
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. We work on door frames, service penetrations and flats & HMOs, and people most often call us about seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated.
Work in a small place like Aston Rowant is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.

What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.

What happens on the day
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access for a typical job. For a village or hamlet like Aston Rowant, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear the area around the work

Questions from Aston Rowant
Is Aston Rowant in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Aston Rowant is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is fire rated sealant in Aston Rowant guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Aston Rowant?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Access and height
- The number of rooms or windows
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The product the joint needs
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The rough size of the job
- The type of property
- Where the property is
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Aston Rowant?
Door frames are a common weak spot. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
People generally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
Community buildings like Church of St Peter and St Paul are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
What your quote should include
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How long to leave it before use
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What preparation is included
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
