Workplaces and buildings in Godstow
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Godstow. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on. 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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Managing a site like Wolvercote Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. For landlords with property near Oxford Parkway station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Community buildings like Church of All Saints are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. We clean out dust and debris before sealing so the sealant bonds.
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail and we flag any that need another system.

Landlord and commercial work in Godstow
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. Several properties can go on one quote.
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is normally a straightforward job.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. It’s based on:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether the work is at height
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 the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- The address or postcode of the job
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Godstow questions
Is Godstow within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Oxford Parkway station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and list the locations and products for you.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing and where.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Let us know the building’s hours and we’ll plan the work to suit.
Why act early in Godstow
Sealant isn’t the fix for every opening. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. If a gap isn’t suitable for sealant, we’ll tell you. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Godstow, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What you get with us
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
