Fire rated sealant in Nine Ashes, done properly
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap. We work on service penetrations, flats & HMOs and pipe & cable gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey.
Somewhere as small as Nine Ashes, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Why it’s worth doing now in Nine Ashes
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, so both the product and the method matter. Around Nine Ashes, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the list grows.
What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
Frame gaps are usually hidden behind the architrave. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size.
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Nine Ashes
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
Rented homes near Ingatestone station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Fire rated sealant in Nine Ashes: 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, 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.
If you look after a building such as Blackmore Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. For buildings such as Church of St Laurence, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
