Fire-rated sealant in Fyfield, Oxfordshire
We cover Fyfield for intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and a one-year guarantee.
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint and we’ll tell you which one you have.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
About our fire rated sealant in Fyfield
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. Typical jobs include ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers, on flats & HMOs, linear gaps and door frames.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Fyfield, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We measure the gap at its widest point to make sure it suits the product.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Fyfield
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The type of sealant required
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The size of the job
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
What to tell us for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved and give you a clear quote.
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Why deal with it now?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. On its own, sealing it now is a small job that does not depend on other work. In a small place like Fyfield, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Commercial buildings in Fyfield
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.
Schools such as Abingdon Preparatory School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. For buildings such as Church of St Nicholas, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
What fire rating will the seal have?
Ratings and certificates aren’t something we issue. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves, and we install to them.

How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a small place like Fyfield, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
