Fire rated sealant in Chadlington, done properly
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. We work on flats & HMOs, linear gaps and plasterboard & masonry, and the jobs we see most are standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Chadlington, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Why it’s worth doing now in Chadlington
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job that doesn’t depend on other work. Around Chadlington, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere like Chadlington needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Can tenants book the work?

Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.
What does intumescent mean?
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.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When it is not the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Workplaces and buildings in Chadlington
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Rented homes near Charlbury station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Nicholas, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Chadlington
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It looks sealed, but it isn’t fire-rated.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
Managing a site like Chadlington Church of England Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth with backing where the detail needs it.
