Fire rated sealant in Farmoor
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. We work on linear gaps, service penetrations and flats & HMOs, and the jobs we see most are joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed.
In a village or hamlet like Farmoor, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some can’t and we’ll tell you which one you have.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.
Landlord and commercial work in Farmoor
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
Fire rated sealant around Farmoor
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.
Letting a property close to Oxford station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Mary's Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bartholomew School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.

Advice
When something else is needed
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. It will not solve:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
Leave it or put it right?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing once someone inspects it. Around Farmoor, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Why us?
- Tidy, careful work
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
