Fire-stopping gaps in Pitchcott need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In a small place like Pitchcott, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Clear the area around the work

How we handle fire rated sealant in Pitchcott
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. We are often asked to deal with unsealed gaps around fire door frames and gaps left after a refit or conversion, across door frames, linear gaps and flats & HMOs.
For a small place like Pitchcott, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What the job involves on each surface
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in.
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. The gap is cleaned and backed where required before the sealant goes in.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Pitchcott?
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
People usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
Rented homes near Aylesbury Vale Parkway station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Pitchcott
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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 church, hall or community building such as Church of St. Giles, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Schools such as Whitchurch Combined School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with

- Photos by email, if that’s easy

Why deal with it now?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing when the building is next checked. Older cottages and farmhouses around Pitchcott can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
