About our fire rated sealant in Garsington
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. We work on plasterboard & masonry, service penetrations and door frames, and the jobs we see most are linear gaps at the head of walls and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey.
For a small place like Garsington, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
What happens if it’s left?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own that does not depend on other work. In a small place like Garsington, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

How it works
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a small place like Garsington, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement.
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance so residents know what to expect.

- The number and length of the joints
- How easy the joints are to reach

Fire rated sealant in Garsington: local notes
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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Schools such as Garsington Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. If you let a flat or house near Radley station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. Community buildings like Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
