How we handle fire rated sealant in Upper Brailes
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. We work on door frames, pipe & cable gaps and service penetrations, and people most often call us about sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed.
Somewhere as small as Upper Brailes, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

The process
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Upper Brailes needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Related advice
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. It’s based on:
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether the work is at height
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Roughly how big the job is
- Where the job is, and your postcode
We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.

What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot, helping close the gap. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, wherever you are.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in, so you have it on file.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Upper Brailes and the rest of Oxfordshire.
Leave it or put it right?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. On its own, sealing it now is a small job. Older cottages and farmhouses around Upper Brailes can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
