About our fire rated sealant in Ashmore Green
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. Common call-outs are for cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, on pipe & cable gaps, door frames and service penetrations.
Somewhere as small as Ashmore Green, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist, and we’ll say if we spot a problem with them.
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.

Fire rated sealant around Ashmore Green
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.
Community buildings like St. Mark's Church are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Schools such as Cold Ash St Mark's C.E. School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. If you let a flat or house near Newbury Racecourse station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is normally a straightforward job.
How the visit works
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. For a village or hamlet like Ashmore Green, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
