Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. 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.
About our fire rated sealant in Oxley Green
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap isn’t a fire-rated seal. We cut out the wrong material and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. If you have standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and holes left by a change of layout, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Oxley Green, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

How the job changes by surface
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified, flat by flat if needed.
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both.
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

Workplaces and buildings in Oxley Green
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 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 Thurstable School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of All Saints, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Rented homes near Kelvedon station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Access and height
- The number of rooms or windows
- The type of sealant required
- The amount of work
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.

Common questions in Oxley Green
Do you work for landlords with property near Kelvedon station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is Oxley Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Oxley Green is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. If you need photos or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself and we will tell you if we spot problems with the door.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam isn’t tested as fire stopping. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
What sealant work can’t fix
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
