Common problems we fix in Ashley Heath
Door frames are a common weak spot. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Open joints along the top of partitions
For buildings such as All Saints, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

- How much experience the applicator has

How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a smaller place like Ashley Heath, 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.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Advice
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ashley Heath
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
What the job involves on each surface
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in.
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
What affects the quote in Ashley Heath
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any working-time requirements on site
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- If someone has resealed it before
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that’s easy.
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Ashley Heath
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.
Managing a site like St Ives Primary & Nursery School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Ashley Heath questions
What guarantee comes with fire rated sealant in Ashley Heath?
All our work, in Ashley Heath and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover smaller places like Ashley Heath?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
