How we handle fire rated sealant in Milton-under-Wychwood
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. We work on pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and plasterboard & masonry, and people most often call us about gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and holes left by a change of layout.
In a village or hamlet like Milton-under-Wychwood, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Why it’s worth doing now in Milton-under-Wychwood
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Older cottages and farmhouses around Milton-under-Wychwood can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

Surface by surface
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Door frames
Frame gaps are generally hidden behind the architrave. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details.
Commercial buildings in Milton-under-Wychwood

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
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded.

What we are called out for in Milton-under-Wychwood
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust won’t perform as it was tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
For buildings such as Church of St Simon and St Jude, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
