Fire Rated Sealant in Flackley Ash
Fire-stopping gaps in Flackley Ash need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a one-year guarantee.
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
Why it’s worth doing now in Flackley Ash
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. On its own, sealing it now is a small job that does not depend on other work. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Flackley Ash, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What we seal
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before work begins so residents know what to expect.
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both from the manufacturer’s details.
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Workplaces and buildings in Flackley Ash
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.
Letting a property close to Rye station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Managing a site like Peasmarsh Church of England Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. For buildings such as The Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
