Why deal with it now?
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the work involved is often modest. Homes in smaller places like Oakley can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.

Fire rated sealant in Oakley
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk doesn’t make it fire-rated. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. If you have open joints along the top of partitions and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, we can put it right.
If you run a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Oakley, its washrooms and kitchen need the same sealant care as any big building.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product.
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail, and we will tell you.
Common questions in Oakley
I let a flat near Princes Risborough station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Oakley within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. If you need pictures or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control and install to the manufacturer’s details.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Workplaces and buildings in Oakley
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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Managing a site like Mill Lane Community Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. For buildings such as Church of St Andrew, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Rented homes near Princes Risborough station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Landmarks near Oakley
Typical jobs here are in homes near The Wheatsheaf pub and the streets around them. The closest station to Oakley is Princes Risborough station, roughly 3.5 miles east. Nearby you’ll also find Thame Community Hospital (3.8 miles north-west). The countryside around Oakley includes Bald Hill and Oakley Hill nature reserve.
The process
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building in most cases. In a smaller place like Oakley, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

What else we do in Oakley
What affects the quote in Oakley
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The product the joint needs
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number of rooms or windows
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- If someone has resealed it before
- The type of property
- The problem you’ve noticed
We don’t publish a price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Flats & HMOs
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
