Beenham: your questions answered

Is Beenham in your area for fire rated sealant?

Yes, Beenham is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.

Will you come out to Beenham?

Yes, Beenham is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.

What sealant do you use?

Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.

Do you do fire sealant around door frames?

Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.

Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?

No. It might close the gap, but it is not a fire-rated seal. Use a product tested for that gap and service.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.

Will you assess my building’s fire safety?

No, we don’t assess buildings. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we will quote for the sealant work on it.

Where is Mr Mastic based?

Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.

Fire rated sealant in Beenham, done properly

In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. 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. Common call-outs are for door frames with gaps between frame and wall and gaps left after a refit or conversion, across service penetrations, pipe & cable gaps and flats & HMOs.

Work in a small place like Beenham is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.

All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Fire rated sealant around Beenham

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.

Managing a site like Beenham Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. For landlords with property near Aldermaston station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

When it is not the sealant

A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:

  • Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
  • Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
  • Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire

If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we seal

  • Linear gaps
  • Service penetrations
  • Flats & HMOs
  • Door frames
  • Pipe & cable gaps
  • Plasterboard & masonry

DIY sealant or a professional job?

Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Beenham

We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:

  • The amount of work
  • Any mould that needs treating
  • How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
  • The number of rooms or windows

The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.

Asking for a quote

When you contact us, it’s useful to know:

  • Roughly how big the job is
  • Where the job is, and your postcode
  • Any previous sealing or DIY work
  • What’s wrong with the joints now

For a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. You’ll have a clear quote before work begins.

How the job changes by surface

Service penetrations

New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth.

Plasterboard walls

Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. We use a product tested in that kind of wall.

What we are called out for in Beenham

If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it is not installed as tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried.

Common reasons people contact us are:

  • Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
  • Fire stopping disturbed by later work
  • Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
  • Open holes round services passing through fire walls

If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Before booking anyone

  • How long the guarantee is
  • How hidden problems are handled
  • How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
  • What insurance they hold

How to choose a mastic man

Looking after it afterwards

To keep the joints looking good and working properly:

  • Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
  • Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
  • Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
  • Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb

Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, 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, do not leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record.

How the visit works

You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. 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. Somewhere as small as Beenham, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.

  1. We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
  2. Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
  3. Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
  4. The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
  5. Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
  • Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
  • Mention if the joints have been sealed before
