Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded.
Questions from Aston Abbotts
I let a flat near Aylesbury station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Aston Abbotts in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Aston Abbotts is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We don’t give ratings or certificates for our work. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it with a record of each location.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. We work from the specification you give us and install to the manufacturer’s details.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
Typically it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
- Plasterboard & masonry
Why deal with it now?
For some gaps, sealant isn’t the right answer and another system is needed. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We will say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Older cottages and farmhouses around Aston Abbotts can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Common problems we fix in Aston Abbotts
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it isn’t installed as tested. Rushed fire stopping is common particularly when it was the last job before handover.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
For buildings such as Church of St James, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
Before you book anyone

- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Is VAT in the price?
- How long to leave it before use

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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Letting a property close to Aylesbury station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
