Fire rated sealant around Ashton
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 are given, installing the product to its tested details.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bishops Waltham Infant School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Peter, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

What we can’t put right
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before any work starts. It will not solve:
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Door frames
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
Leave it or put it right?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing when the building is next checked. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Ashton, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Questions from Ashton
Can you do fire rated sealant in Ashton?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Ashton is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
I let a flat near Botley station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Tell us how the building is used and we will plan around it.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
What does intumescent mean?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant and which one is used depends on the job.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail and we will flag it.
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified room by room.

DIY versus a professional finish
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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
When to call us in Ashton
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust will not perform as it was tested. Rushed fire stopping is common.
People usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
Rented homes near Botley station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
