Fire rated sealant in Aimes Green
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That detail is what we take care over, gap by gap. We’re often asked to deal with joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and old fire sealant that has split or come away, on linear gaps, flats & HMOs and door frames.
In a village or hamlet like Aimes Green, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot and we’ll tell you which one you have.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere like Aimes Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us about any water getting in

Related advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
When something else is needed
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
Quotes for fire rated sealant in Aimes Green
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The size of the job
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Every job is a little different, 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.

FAQs for Aimes Green
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Cheshunt station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover Aimes Green for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Aimes Green is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself, and we’ll mention anything we notice about the door.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Aimes Green, along with the rest of our area.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal. A tested fire-rated product is needed and we can apply it for you.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Workplaces and buildings in Aimes Green
