How the job changes 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.
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Fire rated sealant in Ashley, done properly
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. If you have standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, we can put it right.
For a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Ashley, the washrooms and kitchen need the same attention as a big site.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, depending on how much there is to do. In a smaller place like Ashley, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
When something else is needed
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.

For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll give you a quote.
Why deal with it now?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. Homes in smaller places like Ashley can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Why us?
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Tidy, careful work
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator

Common questions in Ashley
Is Ashley in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Ashley is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Ashley?
Yes. Ashley is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all, and the choice depends on the gap.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control, and apply each product to its tested details.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. Occupied flats, HMOs, offices and schools are all fine. Out-of-hours work can be arranged.
Commercial buildings in Ashley
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Ashley, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. 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’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a building such as Ashley Junior School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Letting a property close to New Milton station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Community buildings like St. Peter's Church are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
