Banbury: your questions answered
Is Banbury in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Banbury is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Banbury?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we will agree it with you first.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, including the preparation. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No, we do not assess buildings. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we’ll quote for the sealant work on it.
Fire rated sealant in Banbury
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. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. We are often asked to deal with old fire sealant that has split or come away and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey, on flats & HMOs, door frames and linear gaps.
Commercial jobs in a town like Banbury range from shops and offices to schools and small business units. Each has washrooms, kitchens and service openings through walls that need the right sealant.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Surface by surface
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist and we will mention anything we notice.
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both from the manufacturer’s details.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the job gets bigger.

Fire rated sealant in Banbury: local notes
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details. Banbury has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Saint Paul's, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. If you let a flat or house near Banbury station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

What happens if it’s left?
Sealant is not the fix for every opening. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. We’ll say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Draughts from a gap round a frame, damp under a sill or water behind a bath panel all start small, and early is when they’re cheapest and quickest to sort.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

Advice
Common problems we fix in Banbury
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
People normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
If you look after a building such as St Mary's Church of England Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
