Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Combe
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor. Send us the list or the survey and we’ll quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. Typical jobs include old fire sealant that has split or come away and linear gaps at the head of walls, across plasterboard & masonry, linear gaps and service penetrations.
Somewhere as small as Combe, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Combe and across Oxfordshire.

What the job involves on each surface
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in over any backing the detail calls for.
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail, and we will tell you.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Combe
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust will not perform as it was tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried particularly when it was the last job before handover.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
Community buildings like St Laurence's Church are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Why deal with it now?
Sealant is not the fix for every opening. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We’ll say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. In a small place like Combe, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.

What affects the quote in Combe
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How many areas need sealing
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The product the joint needs
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Asking for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Roughly how big the job is
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Combe 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.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Yes. Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It might close the gap, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal. Use a product tested for that gap and service and we can apply it for you.

What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.

Workplaces and buildings in Combe
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.
Managing a site like Combe CofE Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Letting a property close to Combe station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
