Common questions in Becontree
I let a flat near Chadwell Heath station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is parking an issue for fire rated sealant in Becontree?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one option among several. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself and we will tell you if we spot problems with the door.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. If you need pictures or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we are fully insured.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product, installed to its details.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Fire rated sealant in Becontree, done properly
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That detail is what we take care over, gap by gap. If you’re dealing with standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment, we can help, on door frames, service penetrations and pipe & cable gaps alike.
In London, a commercial job often starts with access: loading bays, building rules and lifts. For a building in Becontree, 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.

What else we do in Becontree
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Surface by surface
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist.
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We work along the whole run leaving no stretch unsealed.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so you can show it was dealt with.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Landlords and agents in Becontree can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Fire rated sealant around Becontree
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details. Commercial buildings in London often have strict access rules and limited loading, and out-of-hours working is possible to arrange.
Becontree is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. If you look after a building such as St Joseph's Catholic Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Community buildings like St George's are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
