How we handle fire rated sealant in Owslebury
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. We work on linear gaps, service penetrations and door frames, and the jobs we see most are old fire sealant that has split or come away and damaged fire sealant left by other trades.
Work in a small place like Owslebury is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own

Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use fitted to the maker’s details.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and giving you a record of where it went.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In a small place like Owslebury, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.

- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.

Why deal with it now?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Owslebury, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

Commercial buildings in Owslebury
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.
Rented homes near Shawford station change hands often, and 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, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Schools such as Owslebury Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
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.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint, so ask us which we used.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record so the item can be closed.

Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size so the architrave can be refitted.
