Fire rated sealant in Nether Worton
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping isn’t our role; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. We’re often asked to deal with new service routes left unsealed after building work and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey, across flats & HMOs, door frames and linear gaps.
Somewhere as small as Nether Worton, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- The product the joint needs
- Whether the work is at height
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The address or postcode of the job
If you’re in Nether Worton and need fire rated sealant, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email. Tell us what the problem is and where, and we’ll agree the price before any work begins.
Leave it or put it right?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own. Around Nether Worton, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

- We leave the area clean and tidy
- We’re fully insured

Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in.
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. The gap is cleaned of dust first.
What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a small place like Nether Worton, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Fire rated sealant in Nether Worton: local notes
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’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of the Holy Trinity, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Rented homes near Heyford station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
