Fire-rated sealant in Drayton, Oxfordshire
Intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Drayton. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record so you can show it was dealt with.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Drayton
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. If you are dealing with fire stopping disturbed by later work and gaps left after a refit or conversion, we can put it right, on flats & HMOs, plasterboard & masonry and service penetrations alike.
For a small place like Drayton, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

Drayton questions
Is Drayton in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Drayton is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Banbury station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it is not a fire-rated seal. Use a product tested for that gap and service, or ask us to do it.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Drayton
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Quotes for fire rated sealant in Drayton
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The size of the job
- How many areas need sealing
- Any mould that needs treating
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Photos by email, if that is easy
There’s no standard price list. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To get started, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
What we are called out for in Drayton
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It looks sealed, but it is not fire-rated.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
Rented homes near Banbury station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard for the gap we are sealing.
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the sealant bonds.
How it works
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building for a typical job. In a small place like Drayton, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Workplaces and buildings in Drayton
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, 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.
Schools such as North Oxfordshire Academy are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Community buildings like Church of St Peter are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
