About our fire rated sealant in Bapchild
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. We work on pipe & cable gaps, flats & HMOs and linear gaps, and people most often call us about open gaps behind door architraves and open holes round services passing through fire walls.
Somewhere as small as Bapchild, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place

Bapchild questions
Is Bapchild in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Bapchild is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Teynham station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use fitted to the maker’s details.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Tell us how the building is used and we will plan around it.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We measure the gap at its widest point against the product’s tested range.
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere as small as Bapchild, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any water getting in

How we quote for fire rated sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether the work is at height
- The size of the job
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- Where the property is
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint and we’ll tell you which one you have.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the job gets bigger.
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
For landlords and businesses
From a single let to 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 and we will give you a quote.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Bapchild
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.
Rented homes near Teynham station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Rodmersham School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. For buildings such as Church of St Nicholas, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
