Charndon Fire Rated Sealant
We cover Charndon for intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
Workplaces and buildings in Charndon
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For buildings such as Church of St Michael, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

About our fire rated sealant in Charndon
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap isn’t a fire-rated seal. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. Common call-outs are for damaged fire sealant left by other trades and fire seals that have cracked with movement, on plasterboard & masonry, flats & HMOs and pipe & cable gaps.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Charndon, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Why act early in Charndon
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. In a small place like Charndon, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

What we are called out for in Charndon
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
Look out for any of the following:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
Around Charndon, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Before you book anyone
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- The length of the guarantee
For landlords and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Charndon and across Oxfordshire. We can quote a run of properties together.

How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access from start to finish. Somewhere as small as Charndon, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

How we quote for fire rated sealant
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number and length of the joints
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The type of property
- Roughly how big the job is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height

How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. The gap is cleaned and backed where required.
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before we start so residents know what to expect.
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
