How we handle fire rated sealant in Enslow
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. If you are dealing with ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and damaged fire sealant left by other trades, we can help, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Enslow, 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Enslow: your questions answered
Is Enslow within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Tackley station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before we start.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. Occupied flats, HMOs, offices and schools are all fine and we plan access around the people using them. Out-of-hours work can be arranged where it’s needed.
More services for Enslow
Do you need fire rated sealant in Enslow?
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
Managing a site like Bletchingdon Parochial Church of England Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
What to look for in a quote

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- When we can work, for business premises
- How much there is to do
- The product the joint needs
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
What we need to know
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The type of property
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you’re ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere as small as Enslow, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
How to get a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.
Advice
Why act early in Enslow
For some gaps, sealant is not the right answer and another system is needed. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. We will say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Around Enslow, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Surface by surface
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both, following the tested detail.
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it before applying the sealant.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Service penetrations

- Plasterboard & masonry
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Fire rated sealant in Enslow: local notes
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.
For buildings such as Church of Holy Cross, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Rented homes near Tackley station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
