Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Ashwell End
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. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. If you’re dealing with gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and fire seals that have cracked with movement, we can put it right, whatever the surface.

Fire rated sealant around Ashwell End
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
For landlords with property near Ashwell & Morden station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Mary's Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Ashwell End: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Ashwell & Morden station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can phone 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 you come out to Ashwell End?
Yes. Ashwell End is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
Ratings and certificates aren’t something we issue. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves.
Where are you based?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
The process
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. 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 like Ashwell End needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Getting ready for the visit

- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
Why act early in Ashwell End
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Older cottages and farmhouses around Ashwell End can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before work begins.

What we cannot put right
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product and the locations noted.
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail, and tell you if sealant alone is not the right fix.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Ashwell End?
Much fire stopping is hidden: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
Managing a site like Ashwell Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
