Fire rated sealant in Ashurst Bridge
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. If you’re dealing with sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and old fire sealant that has split or come away, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Ashurst Bridge, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Advice
Quotes for fire rated sealant in Ashurst Bridge
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- The type of property
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
For a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. We will send you a clear quote before any work starts.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.

What else we do in Ashurst Bridge
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
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.
Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach.
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. We clean out dust and debris before sealing so the sealant bonds.
What we are called out for in Ashurst Bridge
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It may look fine, but it is not a fire-rated seal.
The most common problems we see are:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hazel Wood Infant School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
