When to call us in Bladon
Door frames are a common weak spot. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
For landlords with property near Hanborough station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
What your quote should include

Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Bladon
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. If you’re dealing with gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and open joints along the top of partitions, we can help, whatever the surface.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Bladon, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Advice
What sealant work can’t fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Commercial buildings in Bladon
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. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Bladon. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bladon Church of England Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. For buildings such as St Martin's Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Why deal with it now?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. Older cottages and farmhouses around Bladon can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

Common questions in Bladon
I let a flat near Hanborough station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Bladon within the area you cover?
Yes, Bladon is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one option among several. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
