Fire-rated sealant in Ford, Buckinghamshire
Fire-stopping gaps in Ford need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

Fire rated sealant in Ford
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. We’re often asked to deal with unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed, across door frames, pipe & cable gaps and service penetrations.
Somewhere as small as Ford, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Common problems we fix in Ford
Door frames are a common weak spot. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
In and around Ford, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

The process
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building in most cases. In a small place like Ford, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

What we cannot put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
Conversions normally leave a mix of old and new service holes. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product and the locations noted.
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We measure the gap at its widest point against the product’s tested range.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Ford
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- The size of the job
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- What’s wrong with the joints now
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email pictures if that is easy.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Why it’s worth doing now in Ford
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. How it’s installed changes how it performs, and we work to the product details every time. Around Ford, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Commercial buildings in Ford
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you let a flat or house near Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
