Aston: your questions answered
Do you cover Aston for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Aston is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is Aston within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal. Use a product tested for that gap and service and we can apply it for you.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
About our fire rated sealant in Aston
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it, so we follow the tested detail for each one. Common call-outs are for open joints along the top of partitions and new service routes left unsealed after building work, across pipe & cable gaps, door frames and service penetrations.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Aston, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What else we do in Aston
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record so the item can be closed.
Fire rated sealant around Aston
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.
Schools such as Aston and Cote Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Access and height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any mould that needs treating
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Whether it has been sealed before
If you’re in Aston and need fire rated sealant, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. Tell us what the problem is and where, and you’ll get a clear quote before we start.
The process
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere as small as Aston, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

What happens if it’s left?
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. In a small place like Aston, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Aston
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
Community buildings like Church of St James are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
