Commercial buildings in Westcott Barton
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 Middle Barton Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Community buildings like Church of St Edward the Confessor are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. If you let a flat or house near Heyford station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Westcott Barton
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. If you have fire seals that have cracked with movement and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Westcott Barton, 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.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record so you can show it was dealt with.

What else we do in Westcott Barton
Why deal with it now?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, so both the product and the method matter. In a small place like Westcott Barton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

Surface by surface
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each, and tell you if sealant alone is not the right fix.
Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We work along the whole run leaving no stretch unsealed.
What we cannot put right
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
How it works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are for a typical job. In a small place like Westcott Barton, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
