What fire rated sealant looks like in Weston Otmoor
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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Fire rated sealant in Weston Otmoor
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap isn’t a fire-rated seal. We cut out the wrong material and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. Typical jobs include gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and fire stopping disturbed by later work, on flats & HMOs, door frames and service penetrations.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Weston Otmoor, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the list grows.

Why act early in Weston Otmoor
For some gaps, sealant is not the right answer and another system is needed. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. We will say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Around Weston Otmoor, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before work begins.
Why book with us
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Full insurance on every job
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild

Common problems we fix in Weston Otmoor
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it isn’t installed as tested. Rushed fire stopping is common.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
Letting a property close to Islip station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

What the job involves on each surface
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both, following the tested detail.
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Weston Otmoor questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Islip station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Weston Otmoor?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Where are you based?
We’re based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent means it swells when heated, 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 it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself, and we’ll mention anything we notice about the door.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location. If we need more, we’ll ask.
