Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Ashingdon
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, one gap at a time. Common call-outs are for standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls, on service penetrations, plasterboard & masonry and pipe & cable gaps.
Around a place like Ashingdon, halls, schools and small businesses all have washrooms and kitchens used by many people. Their sealant and fire-rated joints are as important as those in any bigger building.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

Surface by surface
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail, and we will tell you.
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it.

What else we do in Ashingdon
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Why act early in Ashingdon
Sealant is not the fix for every opening. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. We’ll say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. In an older home around Ashingdon, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first.

FAQs for Ashingdon
Do you work for landlords with property near Hockley station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Ashingdon in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Ashingdon is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and list the locations and products for you.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. That’s for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
The process
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access in most cases. A visit to Ashingdon is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- 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.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Fire rated sealant around Ashingdon
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Schools such as King Edmund School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. For buildings such as Church of St Andrew, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Rented homes near Hockley station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
