Fire rated sealant in Ashford Hill, done properly
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. If you have open joints along the top of partitions and open gaps behind door architraves, we can put it right.
For a small place like Ashford Hill, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Ashford Hill and everywhere else we cover.

Questions from Ashford Hill
Do you cover Ashford Hill for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Ashford Hill is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Ashford Hill?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We don’t issue ratings or certificates ourselves. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer; we install to those details and record what we did.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one of the options. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we are using.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Fire rated sealant in Ashford Hill: local notes
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you let a flat or house near Midgham station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. Schools such as Ashford Hill Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Honest limits
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It won’t solve:
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps
Do you need fire rated sealant in Ashford Hill?
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It may look fine, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Paul, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Why act early in Ashford Hill
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Ashford Hill, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first.

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
