Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
How the job changes by surface
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We check the gap size around the service to make sure it suits the product.

Common questions in Fairford Leys
Is Fairford Leys 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 take on hotel work around Fairford Leys?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent means it swells when heated. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.

What else we do in Fairford Leys
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. For a job in Fairford Leys, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Common problems we fix in Fairford Leys
Gaps also open up as buildings move: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
If you let a flat or house near Aylesbury station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system

Fire rated sealant in Fairford Leys: local notes
Fairford Leys 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. 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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Schools such as St Mary's Church of England School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Community buildings like Fairford Leys Church are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
