What happens if it’s left?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing once someone inspects it. Around Ashton Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

About our fire rated sealant in Ashton Green
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, and we can record what went where. We are often asked to deal with seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey, across linear gaps, pipe & cable gaps and plasterboard & masonry.
For a small place like Ashton Green, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Ashton Green?
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust won’t perform as it was tested. Rushed fire stopping is common.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
If you let a flat or house near Glynde station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee
- What the cure time is
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Is VAT in the price?

What else we do in Ashton Green
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into 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, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

Advice
What fire rated sealant looks like in Ashton 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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Schools such as Ringmer Primary and Nursery School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. For buildings such as The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
