- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
When to call us in Hatford
Gaps also open up as buildings move: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
Schools such as Stanford in the Vale Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
What your quote should include
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What product goes in the joint
Fire rated sealant in Hatford, done properly
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap is not a fire-rated seal. We cut out the wrong material and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. Typical jobs include door frames with gaps between frame and wall and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, on pipe & cable gaps, flats & HMOs and service penetrations.
Work in a small place like Hatford is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. It normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Hatford needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.

Why it’s worth doing now in Hatford
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Hatford, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

Fire rated sealant around Hatford
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.
For buildings such as Holy Trinity Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
