How we handle fire rated sealant in Blashford
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That’s the part we focus on, one gap at a time. Common call-outs are for damaged fire sealant left by other trades and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, across flats & HMOs, linear gaps and plasterboard & masonry.
Somewhere as small as Blashford, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number and length of the joints
- How many areas need sealing
- Mould in or behind the old joints
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Roughly how big the job is
- If someone has resealed it before
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The type of property
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
When to call us in Blashford
Door frames are a common weak spot. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
Community buildings like Church of St Mary and All Saints are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
Questions to ask before booking
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some can’t, so ask us which we used.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
Fire rated sealant around Blashford
Blashford has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed. 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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Poulner Junior School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

What else we do in Blashford
How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a small place like Blashford, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear the area around the work

How the job changes by surface
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We seal them along their full length.
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it.
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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Blashford questions
Do you work in hotels near Blashford?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Is Blashford in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Blashford is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product, installed to its details.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one option among several. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
What should I tell you?
Tell us what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
