About our fire rated sealant in Burcott
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping is not our role; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. We are often asked to deal with damaged fire sealant left by other trades and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, on linear gaps, door frames and plasterboard & masonry.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Burcott, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself usually takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, depending on the amount of work. Somewhere like Burcott needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Move anything stored near the joints

What we are called out for in Burcott
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust will not perform as it was tested. Rushed fire stopping is common, especially where it was squeezed in at the end of a project.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
Community buildings like Church of St James are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Fire rated sealant around Burcott
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you let a flat or house near Aylesbury station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bierton Church of England Combined School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
