Fire-rated sealant in Kingham, Oxfordshire
We cover Kingham for intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and a 12-month guarantee.
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Kingham
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, gap by gap. We work on linear gaps, plasterboard & masonry and door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list.
Somewhere as small as Kingham, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

What sealant work can’t fix
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Kingham
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many areas need sealing
- When we can work, for business premises
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Where the property is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it has been sealed before
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add pictures by email if you can.
Common problems we fix in Kingham
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
For buildings such as Church of St Andrew, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
What to look for in a quote
- How much experience the applicator has
- What insurance they hold
- How long to leave it before use
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing

Why deal with it now?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. Older cottages and farmhouses around Kingham can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why us?
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Fully insured
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas

What we do, step by step
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere as small as Kingham, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.

How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. We will tell you when we quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Is there a guarantee?

Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam is not tested as fire stopping. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Kingham
In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Kingham Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Rented homes near Kingham station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
