Your questions about fire rated sealant in Poundon
Do you cover Poundon for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Poundon is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
I let a flat near Bicester North station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No, we do not assess buildings. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Poundon
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap isn’t a fire-rated seal. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. If you are dealing with door frames with gaps between frame and wall and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Poundon, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What else we do in Poundon
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured.
Letting agents and landlords in Poundon can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the sealant bonds.
Flats and HMOs
Conversions normally leave a mix of old and new service holes. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product and the locations noted.
When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
The process
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building from start to finish. For a village or hamlet like Poundon, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
How to get a quote

Related advice
Why deal with it now?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing when the building is next checked. In a small place like Poundon, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
