Fire rated sealant in Kiddington, done properly
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap. We’re often asked to deal with gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and fire stopping disturbed by later work, on flats & HMOs, door frames and plasterboard & masonry.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Kiddington, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Fire rated sealant in Kiddington: 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.
For landlords with property near Charlbury station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. For buildings such as Church of St Nicholas, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Why act early in Kiddington
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now means you can show the action was taken. In a small place like Kiddington, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere as small as Kiddington, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Kiddington
Do you work for landlords with property near Charlbury station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you cover Kiddington for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Kiddington is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant, to the product’s details. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
How long does the job take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. We will tell you when we quote.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It looks sealed but will not perform as fire stopping. A tested fire-rated product is needed and we can apply it for you.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. We record the locations we’ve sealed and the products used for your files.
Landlord and commercial work in Kiddington
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
