What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. We clean out dust and debris before sealing.
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before work begins.
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Fire rated sealant around Leafield
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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Michael and All Angels, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Letting a property close to Ascott-Under-Wychwood station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. It usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a small place like Leafield, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- 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
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
What we’re called out for in Leafield
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It looks sealed, but it isn’t fire-rated.
The most common problems we see are:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
If you look after a building such as Leafield Church of England Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
