Fire-rated sealant in Pusey, Oxfordshire
Intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations for householders, landlords and businesses in Pusey. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Fire rated sealant in Pusey, done properly
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 the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. If you have new service routes left unsealed after building work and open joints along the top of partitions, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Pusey, 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 one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

Why act early in Pusey
For some gaps, sealant isn’t the right answer and another system is needed. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We’ll say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Pusey, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Fire rated sealant around Pusey
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.
Managing a site like Buckland Church of England Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Community buildings like Church of All Saints are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
Pusey is about 6 miles north-west of Wantage, in Oxfordshire. Pusey gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.

How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We check the gap size around the service against the product’s tested range.
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard for each gap size.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
We do not publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- The size of the job
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The type of property
- Where the property is
- How we’d reach the joints
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work and give you a clear price.
How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Pusey, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- 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.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any tricky access
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Pusey questions
What guarantee comes with fire rated sealant in Pusey?
All our work, in Pusey and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Pusey within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use, installed to its details.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Bigger jobs take longer.
What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one of the options. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We will explain which colours are available and agree one before we start.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
