Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Nash
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping isn’t our role; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. We work on flats & HMOs, pipe & cable gaps and service penetrations, and people most often call us about new service routes left unsealed after building work and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment.
Somewhere as small as Nash, 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.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record so you can show it was dealt with.
Why act early in Nash
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Older cottages and farmhouses around Nash can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Why book with us
- Fully insured

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Common questions in Nash
Is Nash within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is Nash in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Nash is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
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. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Fire rated sealant in Nash: local notes
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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Elmstone Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. If you let a flat or house near Adisham station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
