Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Aston Tirrold
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. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. Common call-outs are for ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and open holes round services passing through fire walls, on door frames, pipe & cable gaps and linear gaps.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Aston Tirrold, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

The process
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are for a typical job. In a small place like Aston Tirrold, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
When to call us in Aston Tirrold
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
For buildings such as Church of St Michael, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.
If you manage several properties in or around Aston Tirrold, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware

Fire rated sealant in Aston Tirrold: 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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Rented homes near Cholsey station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.

Surface by surface

What else we do in Aston Tirrold
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job and needn’t wait for anything else. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Aston Tirrold, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
