About our fire rated sealant in Boars Hill
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, and we can record what went where. We work on door frames, service penetrations and flats & HMOs, and people most often call us about gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Boars Hill, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Commercial buildings in Boars Hill
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 are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Letting a property close to Oxford station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. For buildings such as Church of St Peter, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Managing a site like Wootton St Peter's Church of England Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

What happens if it’s left?
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Around Boars Hill, older homes often have timber in their 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. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll give you a quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. Sealant won’t put right:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We measure the gap at its widest point to make sure it suits the product.
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
