About our fire rated sealant in Bay View
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through. If you have gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and door frames with gaps between frame and wall, we can help.
For a small place like Bay View, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
We do not publish a price list. What we look at:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The product the joint needs
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How much there is to do
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Roughly how big the job is
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you are ready, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the seal has something sound to bond to.
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both.
Questions from Bay View
Will you come out to Bay View?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Bay View?
Yes, Bay View is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it is not a fire-rated seal. A tested fire-rated product is needed, or ask us to do it.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control, and apply each product to its tested details.

What else we do in Bay View
How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere as small as Bay View, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us if parking is tricky
Get a quote
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.

Workplaces and buildings in Bay View
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Bay View, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. 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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.

When something else is needed

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
When to call us in Bay View
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
For jobs in and around Bay View, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is VAT in the price?
- How long to leave it before use
- The length of the guarantee
- How hidden problems are handled
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and get them seen to.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
