Stratton Audley Fire Rated Sealant
Intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Stratton Audley. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Stratton Audley
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; then it swells to help close the gap. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. Common call-outs are for cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, across linear gaps, service penetrations and door frames.
Somewhere as small as Stratton Audley, 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.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
Stratton Audley: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Stratton Audley?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Bicester North station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
What fire rating will the seal have?
Ratings and certificates aren’t something we issue. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves; we install to those details and record what we did.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Usually, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we will agree it with you first.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself and we’ll tell you if we spot problems with the door.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it is not a fire-rated seal. Use a product tested for that gap and service, or ask us to do it.

Commercial buildings in Stratton Audley
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.
Schools such as Cooper School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Rented homes near Bicester North station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary and St Edburga, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
