Fire rated sealant in Park Town, done properly
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That detail is what we take care over. If you’re dealing with fire seals that have cracked with movement and fire stopping disturbed by later work, we can put it right.
In a smaller place like Park Town, commercial jobs tend to be smaller buildings: a pub, a surgery, a school, a shop or a few business units. Each needs the same care with its sealant as any larger building.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. Several properties can be quoted together.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.

When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.

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. Everything old must be removed 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.
Workplaces and buildings in Park Town
Park Town has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. 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.
If you look after a building such as Wychwood School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. If you let a flat or house near Oxford station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Leave it or put it right?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again when the building is next checked. In a smaller place like Park Town, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In a smaller place like Park Town, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about any water getting in

Common questions in Park Town
Do you work for landlords with property near Oxford station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Will you come out to Park Town?
Yes. Park Town is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. We record the locations we’ve sealed and the products used to keep with your fire safety documents.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam is not tested as fire stopping. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is usually a straightforward job.
Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We measure the gap at its widest point against the product’s tested range.
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. We use a product tested in that kind of wall.
