Fire rated sealant in Five Oaks
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping isn’t our role; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. Common call-outs are for gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and door frames with gaps between frame and wall, on door frames, pipe & cable gaps and service penetrations.
In a village or hamlet like Five Oaks, 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.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Why it’s worth doing now in Five Oaks
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. In a small place like Five Oaks, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Five Oaks
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
Letting a property close to Billingshurst station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the list grows.
Five Oaks questions
Will you come out to Five Oaks?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Five Oaks?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Five Oaks is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for every job we do.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before work begins.
What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist.
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the sealant bonds.
Fire rated sealant around Five Oaks
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’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Weald School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The type of sealant required
- Whether the work is at height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The amount of work
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
