Fire rated sealant in Ashdon
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, gap by gap. If you’re dealing with holes left by a change of layout and open gaps behind door architraves, we can put it right, on plasterboard & masonry, linear gaps and flats & HMOs alike.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Ashdon, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Leave it or put it right?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that does not follow the tested detail may have to come out again when the building is next checked. Around Ashdon, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

How the job changes by surface
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We work along the whole run so there are no open sections left.
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record so you can show it was dealt with.
How it works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access in most cases. In a small place like Ashdon, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Fire rated sealant around Ashdon
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.
For buildings such as Church of All Saints, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Schools such as Ashdon Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Ashdon: your questions answered

What guarantee comes with fire rated sealant in Ashdon?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. We agree access and the order of work with you first.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent means it swells when heated to help seal the gap. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
Ratings and certificates are not something we issue. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer, and we install to them.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for every job we do.
Can tenants book the work?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
