FAQs: Woughton on the Green
Will you work in a care home in Woughton on the Green without moving residents out?
Yes. Care settings are planned area by area, at times agreed with the home. Tell us about any infection-control or safeguarding requirements and we will work to them.
Can work at a site such as The Open University fit around teaching?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Will you write the fire-stopping specification?
No. The specification comes from your designer, fire engineer or building control. Our role is fitting the specified fire-rated sealant, following the maker’s tested details.
Is colour matching possible?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
About our fire stopping in Woughton on the Green
It helps to set out our role at the start. Deciding the specification sits with the designer, the fire engineer and building control; sign-off sits with them too. What we bring is careful installation of the specified sealant, to the maker’s guidance in Woughton on the Green and nearby. Site teams most often ask us about penetration schedules that need working through and non-fire-rated filler around services, across linear gaps at wall heads, joints between fire-resisting walls and floors and small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Woughton on the Green tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Smaller places such as Woughton on the Green still have buildings with fire-resisting walls and floors: schools, halls, care homes and commercial conversions. Any service penetration through those walls should be closed with the specified product, set out as its test evidence shows.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Surface by surface
Small ducts
We seal around ducts only within what the tested detail covers. Dampers and ductwork systems themselves are outside our work.
Risers and ceiling voids
Voids hide a lot of unsealed openings. We follow your schedule area by area and tell you about openings outside the list.
Maintenance after handover
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Keep product data and details in the fire safety file
- Brief every trade that openings they make must be sealed
- Have penetrations checked while they can still be seen
- Look above ceilings when tiles are lifted for other jobs
After every round of M&E works, check that the openings created have been sealed. A short check at the end of each job saves a long hunt later.
Specify fire stopping early on refits, not as an afterthought. The designer can then choose details that suit the services planned, and installation follows the programme.
Owners, agents and contractors
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.

Doing it in-house
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
