Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Foscot
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, and we can record what went where. We work on door frames, linear gaps and service penetrations, and the jobs we see most are gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and open joints along the top of partitions.
Somewhere as small as Foscot, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

What affects the quote in Foscot
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- The number and length of the joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether the work is at height
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Where the property is
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- If someone has resealed it before
Every job is quoted individually. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and describe the job, and photos are welcome.
How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In a small place like Foscot, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any tricky access
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Advice
What sealant work cannot fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
Leave it or put it right?
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the work involved is often modest. In a small place like Foscot, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

Fire rated sealant around Foscot
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Managing a site like Bledington Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. For landlords with property near Kingham station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Community buildings like Church of St Leonard are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

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 record where they are.
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. We use a product tested in that kind of wall for the gap we’re sealing.
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
