What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Milton Heights, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any tricky access
- Move anything stored near the joints

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is usually a straightforward job.
Commercial buildings in Milton Heights
Milton Heights 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. Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Blaise, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. If you look after a building such as St Blaise CofE Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Why it’s worth doing now in Milton Heights
A quick fill with any sealant to hand isn’t fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. Older cottages and farmhouses around Milton Heights can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach and we’ll flag it.
Flats and HMOs

When to call us in Milton Heights
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It may look fine, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
If you let a flat or house near Didcot Parkway station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
