Marsh Gibbon Fire Rated Sealant
Fire-stopping gaps in Marsh Gibbon need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
When something else is needed
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Marsh Gibbon
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. If you are dealing with open gaps behind door architraves and old fire sealant that has split or come away, we can help, on pipe & cable gaps, door frames and linear gaps alike.
For a small place like Marsh Gibbon, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

Commercial buildings in Marsh Gibbon
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.
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. Rented homes near Bicester North station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Schools such as Marsh Gibbon CofE Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls

Other services in Marsh Gibbon
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What affects the quote in Marsh Gibbon
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Whether the work is at height
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How much there is to do
- The product the joint needs
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- If someone has resealed it before
- What’s wrong with the joints now
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and get them seen to.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
