Fire-rated sealant in Holton, Oxfordshire
Professional fire rated sealant in and around Holton, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a one-year guarantee.
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Holes left by a change of layout
Why deal with it now?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing when the building is next checked. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Holton, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Fire rated sealant in Holton
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. If you have holes left by a change of layout and linear gaps at the head of walls, we can put it right, on flats & HMOs, door frames and pipe & cable gaps alike.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Holton, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Holton
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.
Community buildings like The Granary Church are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Common questions in Holton
Will you come out to Holton?
Yes, Holton is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is Holton in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Holton is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
That isn’t something we state or certify. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we apply a product tested for it.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam isn’t tested as fire stopping. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. We regularly work in flats, HMOs, schools and offices while they’re in use. Early starts or out-of-hours work can be arranged where it’s needed.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. If you need pictures or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a village or hamlet like Holton, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- 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.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces 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 files.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Door frames
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps

Do you need fire rated sealant in Holton?
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Open gaps behind door architraves
Managing a site like Wheatley Park School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
