Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Owslebury Bottom
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap isn’t a fire-rated seal. Anything unsuitable comes out first and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. We work on pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and flats & HMOs, and the jobs we see most are linear gaps at the head of walls and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey.
In a village or hamlet like Owslebury Bottom, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a small place like Owslebury Bottom, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
Why act early in Owslebury Bottom
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own and needn’t wait for anything else. Around Owslebury Bottom, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Fire rated sealant in Owslebury Bottom: 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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
For landlords with property near Shawford station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. For buildings such as Church of St Andrew, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

What the job involves on each surface
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both.
Door frames
Frame gaps are usually hidden behind the architrave. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Owslebury Bottom?
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 they leave does not always get resealed.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
Managing a site like Owslebury Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
