DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, depending on the size of the job. For a job in Ashford Common, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any tricky access
- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice
Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We work through the gaps on your assessment.
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. We clean out dust and debris before sealing.
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
FAQs for Ashford Common
Do you work for landlords with property near Upper Halliford station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is Ashford Common within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All our work carries a one-year guarantee.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in so it’s there for the next inspection.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
When something else is needed
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Ashford Common
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 St Saviour, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Schools such as Meadhurst Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Common problems we fix in Ashford Common
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
For landlords with property near Upper Halliford station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
