Fire rated sealant in Littlemore
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor on buildings across Littlemore. If you share the list, we can quote for the gaps that need fire-rated sealant. If you’re dealing with unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and open joints along the top of partitions, we can help, whatever the surface.
In a smaller place like Littlemore, commercial jobs tend to be smaller buildings: a pub, a surgery, a school, a shop or a few business units. The work is the same as in a big building, just on a smaller scale.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Commercial buildings in Littlemore
Littlemore has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on. 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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Schools such as Emmanuel Christian School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. For landlords with property near Radley station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. For buildings such as Church of St Mary and St Nicholas, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

What else we do in Littlemore
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded so you can show it was dealt with.
What happens if it’s left?
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Getting them done and written up gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. In an older home around Littlemore, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What we can’t put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, and the area is left clean. For a job in Littlemore, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Should I try DIY first?

Do you come to Littlemore?

What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
Different surfaces, different methods
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
Flats and HMOs
Conversions normally leave a mix of old and new service holes. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Littlemore
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll quote.
