How we handle fire rated sealant in Bodicote
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That’s the part we focus on, one gap at a time. Typical jobs include open joints along the top of partitions and open holes round services passing through fire walls, across linear gaps, door frames and service penetrations.
In a smaller place like Bodicote, commercial jobs tend to be smaller buildings: a pub, a surgery, a school, a shop or a few business units. Each needs the same care with its sealant as any larger building.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist and we’ll mention anything we notice.
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We seal them along their full length.
Questions from Bodicote
Will you come out to Bodicote?
Yes. Bodicote is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Banbury station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam isn’t tested as fire stopping. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one of the options. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Bodicote.
How long will you be here?
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’ll tell you when we quote.
For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Bodicote?
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
Letting a property close to Banbury station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
What to look for in a quote
- How hidden problems are handled
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What the cure time is
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint, so ask us which we used.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.
Leave it or put it right?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now means you can show the action was taken. Homes in smaller places like Bodicote can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a smaller place like Bodicote, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
