Fire rated sealant in Little Wittenham, done properly
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. We work on plasterboard & masonry, flats & HMOs and door frames, and people most often call us about unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list.
Work in a small place like Little Wittenham is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Little Wittenham as everywhere else we work.

- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant

How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. The job normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. For a village or hamlet like Little Wittenham, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear the area around the work

Fire rated sealant in Little Wittenham: local notes
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Little Wittenham. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed. 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 buildings such as Church of St Peter, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Schools such as Long Wittenham (Church of England) Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

FAQs for Little Wittenham
Do you take on hotel work around Little Wittenham?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
I let a flat near Appleford station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No, assessment is not something we do. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we’ll quote for the sealant work on it.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we’ll agree it with you first.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Little Wittenham?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.

Why deal with it now?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand isn’t fire stopping. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, so both the product and the method matter. Around Little Wittenham, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
