Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Shabbington
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That detail is what we take care over, gap by gap. We work on linear gaps, door frames and flats & HMOs, and the jobs we see most are standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and open holes round services passing through fire walls.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Shabbington, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What else we do in Shabbington
Landlords, agents and businesses in Shabbington
Letting agents and landlords in Shabbington can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes are not treated the same. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail.
Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We seal them along their full length.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Shabbington
Much fire stopping is hidden: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Holes left by a change of layout
If you let a flat or house near Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What insurance they hold
- What guarantee comes with the work
What happens if it’s left?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Getting them done and written up means you can show the action was taken. Older cottages and farmhouses around Shabbington can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Why us?
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- We never seal over old sealant
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
Fire rated sealant around Shabbington
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.
For buildings such as Parish Church of St Mary Magdalene, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. If you look after a building such as Ickford School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.

Honest limits
