Fire Rated Sealant in Swinford
We cover Swinford for intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.

- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
About our fire rated sealant in Swinford
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; in a fire it expands into the joint. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we follow the tested detail for each one. We work on flats & HMOs, plasterboard & masonry and pipe & cable gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and new service routes left unsealed after building work.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Swinford, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Swinford and everywhere else we cover.

Fire rated sealant in Swinford: local notes
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Schools such as Eynsham Community Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. For landlords with property near Hanborough station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. For buildings such as Church of St Leonard, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Why it’s worth doing now in Swinford
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. In a small place like Swinford, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.

When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs

How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Swinford, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Advice
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- Whether the work is at height
- Any mould that needs treating
- The type of sealant required
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will take it from there.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so you can show it was dealt with.
How the job changes by surface
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist.
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.

Swinford: your questions answered
Is Swinford in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Swinford is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Hanborough station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We do not give ratings or certificates for our work. Your specification sets the requirement, and we apply a product tested for it with a record of each location.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Swinford?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
