About our fire rated sealant in Bakers Arms
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. If you are dealing with open holes round services passing through fire walls and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
London blocks of flats carry pipes and cables through walls and floors in their common parts and service risers. For managing agents and building owners in Bakers Arms, that can mean fire-rated sealant around service openings as well as resealing in shared washrooms and kitchens.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Different surfaces, different methods
Door frames
Frame gaps are normally hidden behind the architrave. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details before the trim goes back.
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.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
FAQs for Bakers Arms
I let a flat near Leyton Midland Road station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Bakers Arms in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Bakers Arms is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. We work in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other commercial buildings, including occupied ones. We agree access and the order of work with you first.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
A typical job takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we’re done.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
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’re not sure which product was used.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Bakers Arms?
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It may look fine, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal.
The most common problems we see are:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
For landlords with property near Leyton Midland Road station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

When something else is needed
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we seal
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
What fire rated sealant looks like in Bakers Arms
Many London buildings have tight access and loading restrictions, so out-of-hours working can be arranged where needed. 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 are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Bakers Arms is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. For buildings such as St Stephen's, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Why it’s worth doing now in Bakers Arms
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and once it shows in Bakers Arms, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
