Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Barking
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. 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 joints along the top of partitions and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed.
In London, a commercial job often starts with access: loading bays, building rules and lifts. For a building in Barking, we agree timings and access before anything starts.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number of rooms or windows
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
If you are in Barking and need fire rated sealant, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email. Tell us what the problem is and where, and we’ll agree the price before any work begins.
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Questions from Barking
Do you cover Barking for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Barking is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Barking station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
Ratings and certificates aren’t something we issue. 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.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Barking and the rest of Greater London.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself, and we will mention anything we notice about the door.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Every job comes with a one-year guarantee.
Why act early in Barking
For some gaps, sealant isn’t the right answer and another system is needed. 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. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.
Why book with us
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- Tidy, careful work
- Full insurance on every job
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we seal
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Workplaces and buildings in Barking
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details. Commercial buildings in London often have strict access rules and limited loading, so out-of-hours working can be arranged where needed.
Barking is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. For buildings such as St Patrick's Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Schools such as Eastbury Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

What else we do in Barking
How it works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building for a typical job. In a London area like Barking, the main things to plan are parking and access: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we’re working on and whether there’s a lift.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about parking restrictions
