About our fire rated sealant in Norham Manor
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, and we can record what went where. We’re often asked to deal with gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and gaps left after a refit or conversion, across plasterboard & masonry, flats & HMOs and linear gaps.
For a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Norham Manor, its washrooms and kitchen need the same sealant care as any big building.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Common problems we fix in Norham Manor
Over time, buildings change layout and use. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
For landlords with property near Oxford station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Fire rated sealant in Norham Manor: 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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details. Norham Manor 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.
Schools such as Wychwood School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Norham Manor
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Norham Manor?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Do you cover smaller places like Norham Manor?
Yes. Norham Manor is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant, to the product’s details. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used for your files.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded so you can show it was dealt with.
How the job changes by surface
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist, and we’ll say if we spot a problem with them.
Flats and HMOs
Conversions usually leave a mix of old and new service holes. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product and record where they are.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
