About our fire rated sealant in Sibford Gower
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. We’re often asked to deal with door frames with gaps between frame and wall and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed, on door frames, flats & HMOs and linear gaps.
In a village or hamlet like Sibford Gower, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

What we’re called out for in Sibford Gower
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
The most common problems we see are:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Sibford Gower Endowed Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
What your quote should include
- Whether VAT is included
- Are they insured?

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Workplaces and buildings in Sibford Gower
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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Community buildings like Church of Holy Trinity are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

FAQs for Sibford Gower
Can you do fire rated sealant in Sibford Gower?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Sibford Gower is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Is there a guarantee on fire rated sealant in Sibford Gower?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant and which one is used depends on the job.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. We regularly work in flats, HMOs, schools and offices while they’re in use and we plan access around the people using them. Out-of-hours work can be arranged where it’s needed.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
That isn’t something we state or certify. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we apply a product tested for it with a record of each location.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record so you can show it was dealt with.
Why it’s worth doing now in Sibford Gower
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. Older cottages and farmhouses around Sibford Gower can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
