Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Ashendon
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. We work on pipe & cable gaps, linear gaps and door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and door frames with gaps between frame and wall.
Work in a small place like Ashendon is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

When to call us in Ashendon
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.
Look out for any of the following:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
Letting a property close to Haddenham & Thame Parkway station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
Landlord and commercial work in Ashendon
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Leave it or put it right?
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 Ashendon can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What we do, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, including the tidy-up. Somewhere like Ashendon needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Workplaces and buildings in Ashendon
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For buildings such as Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one option among several. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. We record the locations we have sealed and the products used for your files.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All our work carries our one-year guarantee.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.

We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
