How we handle fire rated sealant in Launton
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping is not our role; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. We work on pipe & cable gaps, flats & HMOs and plasterboard & masonry, and the jobs we see most are cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and door frames with gaps between frame and wall.
Work in a small place like Launton is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the list grows.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Launton
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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Launton Church of England Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Letting a property close to Bicester North station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Community buildings like Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We work along the whole run leaving no stretch unsealed.
How it works
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere as small as Launton, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
