Ewelme questions
Is Ewelme in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Ewelme is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Ewelme?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. If you need photos or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Ewelme and the rest of Oxfordshire.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
What does intumescent mean?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant and which one is used depends on the job.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Ewelme
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; then it swells to help close the gap. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. If you have unsealed gaps around fire door frames and holes left by a change of layout, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Ewelme, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.

The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere like Ewelme 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.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Surface by surface
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. We use a product tested in that kind of wall for each gap size.
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist, and we will say if we spot a problem with them.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Fire rated sealant around Ewelme
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 Ewelme CofE Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. For buildings such as Church of St Mary, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
Any fire seal that’s cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
