What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building and we leave things clean and tidy. In a small place like Middle Assendon, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- 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.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.
When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal

How the job changes by surface
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail and we will flag it.
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth.
Leave it or put it right?
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Middle Assendon, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
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.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Middle Assendon
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
The most common problems we see are:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Holes left by a change of layout
Rented homes near Henley-On-Thames station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Fire rated sealant in Middle Assendon: local notes
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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
For buildings such as Church of St James, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
