Commercial buildings in Ducklington
Ducklington has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on. 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 Ducklington Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

About our fire rated sealant in Ducklington
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. Typical jobs include cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, across plasterboard & masonry, flats & HMOs and pipe & cable gaps.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Ducklington, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail.
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth over any backing the detail calls for.

What else we do in Ducklington
What we’re called out for in Ducklington
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.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
Community buildings like Church of St Bartholomew are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
Questions to ask before booking
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What the cure time is
How we quote for fire rated sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The size of the job
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Roughly how big the job is
- If someone has resealed it before
- The type of property
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job and send pictures if you have them.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record.
Ducklington: your questions answered
Do you take on hotel work around Ducklington?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Is Ducklington in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Ducklington is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The product needed can limit the range.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It looks sealed but won’t perform as fire stopping. A tested fire-rated product is needed, or ask us to do it.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. All our work carries our 12-month guarantee.
The process
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere like Ducklington 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 isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
How to get a quote
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that is easy.
Advice
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
