Oakfield Fire Rated Sealant
Professional fire rated sealant in and around Oakfield, with old sealant always removed completely and a 12-month guarantee.
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Open gaps behind door architraves
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
Fire rated sealant in Oakfield
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. If you have holes left by a change of layout and open joints along the top of partitions, we can put it right.
In a smaller place like Oakfield, commercial jobs tend to be smaller buildings: a pub, a surgery, a school, a shop or a few business units. Each needs the same care with its sealant as any larger building.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What else we do in Oakfield
Common problems we fix in Oakfield
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service is not always sealed again.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
Managing a site like Dover Park Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What happens if the job turns out different
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building for a typical job. A visit to Oakfield is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. The gap is cleaned and backed where required before applying the sealant.
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- Whether the work is at height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many areas need sealing
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The type of property

Questions from Oakfield
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Oakfield?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
I let a flat near Ryde St Johns Road station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We don’t certify fire stopping or quote ratings. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and list the locations and products for you.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. We work from the specification you give us and install to the manufacturer’s details.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
How long does the job take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. We will tell you when we quote.
What sealant work can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
