About our fire rated sealant in North Weston
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. We work on flats & HMOs, plasterboard & masonry and door frames, and people most often call us about seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and new service routes left unsealed after building work.
Somewhere as small as North Weston, 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
Commercial buildings in North Weston
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.
For buildings such as Parish Church of St Mary Magdalene, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. If you let a flat or house near Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Why deal with it now?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like North Weston, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere as small as North Weston, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in North Weston?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant and which one is used depends on the job.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
What fire rating will the seal have?
That is not something we state or certify. Your specification sets the requirement, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it with a record of each location.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.

The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- The amount of work
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- When we can work, for business premises
- The type of sealant required
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- The type of property
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The problem you’ve noticed
- How we’d reach the joints

When to call us in North Weston
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it isn’t installed as tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried, especially where it was squeezed in at the end of a project.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Lord Williams's School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
