About our fire rated sealant in Filchampstead
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. Common call-outs are for seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, on pipe & cable gaps, flats & HMOs and service penetrations.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Filchampstead, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Filchampstead needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.

Leave it or put it right?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now means you can show the action was taken. Older cottages and farmhouses around Filchampstead can have timber 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. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

Workplaces and buildings in Filchampstead
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Rented homes near Oxford station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. If you look after a building such as Cumnor Church of England School (Voluntary Controlled), gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Community buildings like St Mary's Church are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so you can show it was dealt with.
How the job changes by surface
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth over any backing the detail calls for.

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
