How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Parking around North Oxford is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
About our fire rated sealant in North Oxford
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. We work on flats & HMOs, door frames and service penetrations, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap.
Community buildings, schools and small businesses around places like North Oxford have washrooms and kitchens that see a lot of use. Their sealant and fire-rated joints are as important as those in any bigger building.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Why deal with it now?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own and needn’t wait for anything else. In a smaller place like North Oxford, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.

What sealant work cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

Do you need fire rated sealant in North Oxford?
Much fire stopping is hidden: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Open gaps behind door architraves
For buildings such as Church of St Michael and All Angels, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What insurance they hold
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Is VAT in the price?

Questions from North Oxford
Do you work in hotels near North Oxford?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Is North Oxford within the area you cover?
Yes, North Oxford is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, wherever you are.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Ventilation helps.
How the job changes by surface
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in over any backing the detail calls for.
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Landlord and commercial work in North Oxford
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Workplaces and buildings in North Oxford
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around North Oxford. 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’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you let a flat or house near Oxford station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Managing a site like Oxford Academy? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

- The type of sealant required
