Fire rated sealant in Balmirmer
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That detail is what we take care over. We’re often asked to deal with ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant, on pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and linear gaps.
In a smaller place like Balmirmer, commercial jobs are more likely to be a hotel, guest house, school, surgery or community hall than an office block. All of them have washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints that need looking after.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

When it is not the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we seal
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry

Do you need fire rated sealant in Balmirmer?
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
Look out for these signs:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Open gaps behind door architraves
In and around Balmirmer, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
We don’t publish a price list. What we look at:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Any mould that needs treating
- How much there is to do
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The type of property
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that’s easy.
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record so the item can be closed.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, plus photos if you have them. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No, assessment is not something we do. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we will quote for the sealant work on it.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we are done.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used so it’s there for the next inspection.
The process
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Outdoor work around Balmirmer depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
