Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes aren’t treated the same. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail and we flag any that need another system.
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Bishopstone
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That’s the part we focus on, one gap at a time. We are often asked to deal with seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and holes left by a change of layout, on plasterboard & masonry, flats & HMOs and door frames.
Work in a small place like Bishopstone is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What else we do in Bishopstone
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere as small as Bishopstone, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- 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.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
When it is not the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded so you can show it was dealt with.
Workplaces and buildings in Bishopstone
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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Mandeville School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Rented homes near Aylesbury station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

A little further out are National Paralympic Heritage Centre (1.9 miles north-east) and Friars Square (2.2 miles north-east). Open spaces near Bishopstone include Brush Hill Local Nature Reserve and Beacon Hill.
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Bishopstone
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Why deal with it now?
Sealant isn’t the fix for every opening. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. If a gap isn’t suitable for sealant, we’ll tell you. Around Bishopstone, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
What you get with us
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- A 12-month guarantee on all work

What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one of the options. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we’ll quote it together.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes, whether the building is a school, an office, flats or an HMO, and whether it’s in use or not. Let us know the building’s hours and we’ll plan the work to suit.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
That is not something we state or certify. Your specification sets the requirement, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it.
