Fire-rated sealant in Wootton, Oxfordshire
Professional fire rated sealant in and around Wootton, with every bit of old sealant taken out first.
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In a small place like Wootton, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Wootton
We don’t 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. If you have damaged fire sealant left by other trades and holes left by a change of layout, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Wootton, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor

What else we do in Wootton
When to call us in Wootton
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service is not always sealed again.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Dry Sandford Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Workplaces and buildings in Wootton
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.
If you let a flat or house near Radley station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Community buildings like Church of St Peter are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

What affects the quote in Wootton
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The product the joint needs
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The size of the job
- The number of rooms or windows
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and describe the job, and photos are welcome.
Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance.
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
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, then guaranteed for a year.
Wootton: your questions answered
Is Wootton within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.

Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The product needed can limit the range.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we’ll quote it together.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we’re fully insured too.
What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one option among several. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
