Fire-rated sealant in Hempton, Oxfordshire
Intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations for householders, landlords and businesses in Hempton. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
What we’re called out for in Hempton
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.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
Community buildings like Saint John the Evangelist are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Are they insured?
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How hidden problems are handled
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Hempton
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. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. Common call-outs are for linear gaps at the head of walls and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant, on pipe & cable gaps, linear gaps and service penetrations.
Work in a small place like Hempton is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.

Fire rated sealant in Hempton: local notes
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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. Hempton has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.
Rented homes near Kings Sutton station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Where we work in Hempton
- Service penetrations
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. The gap is cleaned of dust first.
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.
Quotes for fire rated sealant in Hempton
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The type of sealant required
- The amount of work
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The address or postcode of the job
- What’s wrong with the joints now
For a quote, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. We’ll give you a clear quote before any work starts.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access in most cases. Somewhere as small as Hempton, access is often the only tricky part. 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.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

What else we do in Hempton
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Hempton
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Hempton?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Do you work for landlords with property near Kings Sutton station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. Our work is the gap around the frame and we will tell you if we spot problems with the door.
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 come to Hempton?
We do. Hempton is part of the area we cover.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it is not a fire-rated seal. Use a product tested for that gap and service.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
