Do you need fire rated sealant in Oakridge?
Much fire stopping is hidden: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Ruins Of Chapel Of The Holy Trinity, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is
- What insurance they hold
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant

Fire rated sealant in Oakridge: local notes
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Oakridge. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on. 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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
For landlords with property near Basingstoke station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. If you look after a building such as The Vyne Community School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

The process
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access for a typical job. For a job in Oakridge, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. 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.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Related advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard.
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. The gap is cleaned and backed where required before the sealant goes in.
Oakridge questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Basingstoke station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Will you come out to Oakridge?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. That’s for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used so it’s there for the next inspection.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can go on one quote.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
