What happens if it’s left?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Getting them done and written up gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Around Ashfield, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

About our fire rated sealant in Ashfield
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. We work on flats & HMOs, service penetrations and linear gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are open gaps behind door architraves and fire stopping disturbed by later work.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Ashfield, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.

- Assessing a building’s fire safety

Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs

When to call us in Ashfield
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.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
For buildings such as Church of St Boniface, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

The process
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere as small as Ashfield, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- 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.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
