Different surfaces, different methods
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We seal them along their full length leaving no stretch unsealed.
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.

What fire rated sealant looks like in West Hagbourne
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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.
For landlords with property near Didcot Parkway station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. Schools such as Hagbourne Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

How it works
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. For a village or hamlet like West Hagbourne, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Clear the area around the work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
What happens if it’s left?
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the work involved is often modest. In a small place like West Hagbourne, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in West Hagbourne
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust won’t perform as it was tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
Questions to ask before you book
- Are they insured?
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record so the item can be closed.
