How we handle fire rated sealant in Asheridge
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. We work on plasterboard & masonry, service penetrations and linear gaps, and people most often call us about ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and open holes round services passing through fire walls.
Somewhere as small as Asheridge, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Asheridge?
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it isn’t installed as tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
Community buildings like St John's Church are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How much experience the applicator has
- What guarantee comes with the work
- How long to leave it before use
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many areas need sealing
- Access and height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- The rough size of the job
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
We do not publish a price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere as small as Asheridge, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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 and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

FAQs for Asheridge
Can you do fire rated sealant in Asheridge?
Yes, Asheridge is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Great Missenden station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we’re using.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will explain which colours are available and agree one before work begins.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam isn’t tested as fire stopping. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. If you need pictures or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint and we’ll tell you which one you have.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is normally a straightforward job.
Commercial buildings in Asheridge
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.
Schools such as Chartridge Combined School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. For landlords with property near Great Missenden station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
