When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before we start. It will not solve:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
What we are called out for in Ashurst
Over time, buildings change layout and use. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Colbury Christ Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
Before booking anyone
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether VAT is included
How the job changes by surface
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard.
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it.
How the visit works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere as small as Ashurst, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear the area around the work

Is Ashurst within the area you cover?
Yes. Ashurst is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. Occupied flats, HMOs, offices and schools are all fine, with access planned around residents or staff. Early starts or out-of-hours work can be arranged if that suits the building.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself, and we’ll mention anything we notice about the door.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we will agree it with you first.
What does intumescent mean?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant and which one is used depends on the job.
