Fire rated sealant in Dean Court
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That detail is what we take care over, gap by gap. If you are dealing with gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and old fire sealant that has split or come away, we can help, on pipe & cable gaps, linear gaps and plasterboard & masonry alike.
In a smaller place like Dean Court, commercial jobs tend to be smaller buildings: a pub, a surgery, a school, a shop or a few business units. Each needs the same care with its sealant as any larger building.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. A visit to Dean Court is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Clear the area around the work
How to get a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that’s easy.

What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before work begins. It will not solve:
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work in Dean Court
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
What the job involves on each surface
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in over any backing the detail calls for.
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. We use a product tested in that kind of wall.
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record so you can show it was dealt with.
When to call us in Dean Court
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
Rented homes near Oxford station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
What your quote should include
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether VAT is included
- The length of the guarantee
What happens if it’s left?
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the work involved is often modest. In a smaller place like Dean Court, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

Common questions in Dean Court
Is Dean Court in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Dean Court is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Dean Court?
Yes, Dean Court is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one of the options. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. That is for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product following the tested details. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The product needed can limit the range.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Dean Court
In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, 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.
Managing a site like Matthew Arnold School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. For buildings such as St Andrew's, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
