Long Crendon Fire Rated Sealant
Intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Long Crendon. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
How we handle fire rated sealant in Long Crendon
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; then it swells to help close the gap. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it, so we follow the tested detail for each one. We’re often asked to deal with open joints along the top of partitions and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers, across linear gaps, door frames and flats & HMOs.
Around a place like Long Crendon, halls, schools and small businesses all have washrooms and kitchens used by many people. Sealant and fire-rated joints there matter as much as in any larger building.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- 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
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

More services for Long Crendon
Do you need fire rated sealant in Long Crendon?
Gaps also open up as buildings move: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
For landlords with property near Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Long Crendon questions
I let a flat near Haddenham & Thame Parkway station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Long Crendon in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Long Crendon is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in so it’s there for the next inspection.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we will agree it with you first.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Long Crendon?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Let us know the building’s hours and we’ll plan the work to suit.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Workplaces and buildings in Long Crendon
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.
Managing a site like Long Crendon School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. For buildings such as Church of St Mary, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

How the visit works

- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.

What the job involves on each surface
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product and the locations noted.
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement from the manufacturer’s details.
Why act early in Long Crendon
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. In a smaller place like Long Crendon, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
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.
