Fire-rated sealant in Neithrop, Oxfordshire
Problem with your fire-stopping gaps in Neithrop? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint and we will tell you which one you have.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Neithrop
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. We work on plasterboard & masonry, service penetrations and flats & HMOs, and people most often call us about door frames with gaps between frame and wall and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment.
If you run a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Neithrop, its washrooms and kitchen need the same sealant care as any big building, and fire-rated sealant around service openings should be restored after new pipes or cables go through.

Other services in Neithrop
What we’re called out for in Neithrop
Gaps also open up as buildings move: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Joseph's Catholic Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Neithrop
Do you cover smaller places like Neithrop?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Banbury station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
What fire rating will the seal have?
Ratings and certificates are not something we issue. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves; we install to those details and record what we did.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, plus photos if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
When something else is needed
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Linear gaps
Why deal with it now?
Sealant isn’t the fix for every opening. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. If a gap isn’t suitable for sealant, we’ll tell you. Homes in smaller places like Neithrop can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What you get with us
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
Take a look at what affects the cost or what customers say.
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. A visit to Neithrop is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
Getting a quote
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details.
