How we handle fire rated sealant in St Clement's
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. We work on door frames, flats & HMOs and service penetrations, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps left after a refit or conversion and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall.
In a smaller place like St Clement's, commercial jobs tend to be smaller buildings: a pub, a surgery, a school, a shop or a few business units. Each needs the same care with its sealant as any larger building.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. A visit to St Clement's is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Commercial buildings in St Clement's
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around St Clement's. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed. 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.
Letting a property close to Oxford station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Schools such as East Oxford Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

What the job involves on each surface
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes are not treated the same. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each and we flag any that need another system.
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. We use a product tested in that kind of wall for the gap we’re sealing.
Why it’s worth doing now in St Clement's
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now means you can show the action was taken. In a smaller place like St Clement's, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Do you need fire rated sealant in St Clement's?
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It looks sealed, but it isn’t fire-rated.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
For buildings such as St Clement's Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in St Clement's
I let a flat near Oxford station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like St Clement's?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant and which one is used depends on the job.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, including preparation and clearing up. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether the work is at height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the job is, and your postcode
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.
What sealant work cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
