Fire Rated Sealant in Duns Tew
Fire-stopping gaps in Duns Tew need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a one-year guarantee.
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the 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.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Duns Tew
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping isn’t our role; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. If you have joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and holes left by a change of layout, we can put it right.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Duns Tew, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

I let a flat near Heyford station. Can you help?

What does fire rated sealant cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?

Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
Why it’s worth doing now in Duns Tew
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Getting them done and written up means you can show the action was taken. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Duns Tew, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start.

- When we can work, for business premises
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first.

- Whether it has been sealed before

Community buildings like Church of St Mary Magdalene are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes.
How the job changes by surface
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance to keep disruption down.
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist and we will mention anything we notice.
The process
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access for a typical job. Somewhere like Duns Tew 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.
- 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 and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
