Workplaces and buildings in Henwood
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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Peter, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Schools such as Wootton St Peter's 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 Oxford station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Fire rated sealant in Henwood
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. 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. We work on pipe & cable gaps, linear gaps and service penetrations, and common reasons people get in touch are old fire sealant that has split or come away and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Henwood, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.

Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
When it is not the sealant
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before we start.
Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We seal them along their full length leaving no stretch unsealed.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and get them seen to.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
