How we handle fire rated sealant in Oad Street
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. Typical jobs include open holes round services passing through fire walls and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, across plasterboard & masonry, service penetrations and pipe & cable gaps.
For a small place like Oad Street, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. The gap is cleaned and backed where required.
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach, and we will tell you.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Which sealant suits the joint

- Any mould that needs treating

What we need to know

- Where the job is, and your postcode

What else we do in Oad Street
Workplaces and buildings in Oad Street
In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you let a flat or house near Newington station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Schools such as Borden Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Why act early in Oad Street
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, so both the product and the method matter. Older cottages and farmhouses around Oad Street can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before any work starts.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Oad Street
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Holes left by a change of layout
For buildings such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
