Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Ash Green
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That detail is what we take care over, one gap at a time. Typical jobs include unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, on flats & HMOs, plasterboard & masonry and pipe & cable gaps.
Somewhere as small as Ash Green, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Fire rated sealant around Ash Green
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’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Letting a property close to Ash station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ash Grange Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Ash Green?
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
For buildings such as Church of St Peter, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Ash Green, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Common questions in Ash Green
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Ash station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Ash Green in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Ash Green is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
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. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Standard sealants are not made or tested to stop fire. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
Why act early in Ash Green
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again when the building is next checked. Older cottages and farmhouses around Ash Green can have timber 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’s why we ask about the job first.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Any fire seal that’s cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record.
Surface by surface
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach.
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product.

Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
What affects the quote in Ash Green
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether the work is at height
- How many areas need sealing
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Where the property is
- Whether it has been sealed before
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The rough size of the job
