How we handle fire rated sealant in Curbridge
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap is not a fire-rated seal. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. We are often asked to deal with damaged fire sealant left by other trades and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, across plasterboard & masonry, door frames and service penetrations.
Somewhere as small as Curbridge, 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.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Curbridge and across Oxfordshire.

Commercial buildings in Curbridge
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’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St John the Baptist, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere like Curbridge needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
What sealant work cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs

Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- How we’d reach the joints
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The address or postcode of the job
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add photos by email if you can.
Can I do it myself?
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.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Curbridge
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
Schools such as Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Surface by surface
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each and we flag any that need another system.
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details.
