Our fire rated sealant service in City of London
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. We work on pipe & cable gaps, door frames and service penetrations, and the jobs we see most are door frames with gaps between frame and wall and fire seals that have cracked with movement.
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, including the tidy-up.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.

Fire rated sealant across City of London: local notes
City of London has hotels, rented property, schools and workplaces, all with sealant to maintain. Washroom sealant is chosen for heavy use, and fire-rated sealant fitted to the product’s tested details.
Hard water across most of the South East leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. Whatever the job in City of London, surfaces are cleaned back properly before new sealant goes in.
City of London: As a London address, City of London can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. If you look after a building such as Fashion Retail Academy, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
What affects the quote in City of London
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Whether the work is at height
- How many areas need sealing
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Where the property is
- Whether it has been sealed before
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
When it is not the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
Landlord and commercial work in City of London
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
Leave it or put it right?
Sealant isn’t the fix for every opening. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. We’ll say so if a gap needs something other than sealant.

How the job changes by surface
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist.
Common questions in City of London
What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one option among several. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
What fire rating will the seal have?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and list the locations and products for you.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in so it’s there for the next inspection.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, wherever you are.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
