Fire rated sealant in Highmoor Cross
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That detail is what we take care over. If you are dealing with sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and fire seals that have cracked with movement, we can put it right.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Highmoor Cross, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Common questions in Highmoor Cross
Do you work for landlords with property near Henley-On-Thames station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Highmoor Cross?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, plus photos if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
For landlords and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Highmoor Cross and across Oxfordshire. Several sites can go on one quote, and we’re fully insured for the work.
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.

When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Workplaces and buildings in Highmoor Cross
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.
Rented homes near Henley-On-Thames station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Common problems we fix in Highmoor Cross
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Paul, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether VAT is included
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What the cure time is
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.

- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
