Surface by surface
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both from the manufacturer’s details.
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes aren’t treated the same. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail.
Fire rated sealant in Woodstock
We do not assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. We work on door frames, plasterboard & masonry and linear gaps, and people most often call us about linear gaps at the head of walls and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed.
Around a place like Woodstock, halls, schools and small businesses all have washrooms and kitchens used by many people. Their sealant and fire-rated joints are as important as those in any bigger building.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

When something else is needed
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system

Why act early in Woodstock
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Getting them done and written up gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. In a smaller place like Woodstock, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Why Woodstock customers choose us
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Fully insured
How it works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In a smaller place like Woodstock, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any tricky access

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Woodstock
Do you cover smaller places like Woodstock?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you take on hotel work around Woodstock?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.

Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.

Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.

Yes, we are fully insured.

Fire rated sealant around Woodstock
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Woodstock. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on. 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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary Magdalene, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Rented homes near Hanborough station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Common problems we fix in Woodstock
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
Managing a site like Woodstock Church of England Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
