What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In a smaller place like Olney, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- 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.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Olney
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor, with each location and product recorded. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. We work on linear gaps, plasterboard & masonry and door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are open holes round services passing through fire walls and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed.
If you run a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Olney, its washrooms and kitchen need the same sealant care as any big building, and fire-rated sealant around service openings should be restored after new pipes or cables go through.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Fire rated sealant in Olney: local notes
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 look after a building such as Olney Middle School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Community buildings like Church of Saints Peter and Paul are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Olney
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether the work is at height
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any working-time requirements on site
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
What we need to know
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The problem you’ve noticed
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
We do not publish a price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Different surfaces, different methods
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 flag it.
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist, and we will say if we spot a problem with them.
What else we do in Olney
Why act early in Olney
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest doesn’t make a fire seal. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. In a smaller place like Olney, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear price for the lot.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
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. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
