What the job involves on each surface
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.
Linear gaps
Linear gaps run along the head of walls, at floor edges and between panels. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Ash
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate. We work on door frames, pipe & cable gaps and service penetrations, and common reasons people get in touch are open joints along the top of partitions and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap.
If you run a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Ash, the washrooms and kitchen need the same attention as a big site.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Ash
Will you come out to Ash?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Ash station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, 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.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Whether the work is at height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The product the joint needs
- Any mould that needs treating
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel

Why it’s worth doing now in Ash
For some gaps, sealant is not the right answer and another system is needed. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We will say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. In an older home around Ash, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are and we leave things clean and tidy. For a job in Ash, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.

- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Common problems we fix in Ash
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
Look out for these signs:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Open joints along the top of partitions
Managing a site like Walsh CofE Junior School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is included
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What product goes in the joint
- What insurance they hold
Commercial buildings in Ash
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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Peter, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Rented homes near Ash station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint, so ask us which we used.
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.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
