About our fire rated sealant in Best Beech Hill
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping isn’t our role; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. If you have cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and damaged fire sealant left by other trades, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Best Beech Hill is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Commercial buildings in Best Beech Hill
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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Uplands Community College, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

What else we do in Best Beech Hill
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What affects the quote in Best Beech Hill
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The product the joint needs
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Access and height
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
How the job changes by surface
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement from the manufacturer’s details.
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance so residents know what to expect.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Best Beech Hill
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It may look fine, but it is not a fire-rated seal.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
Letting a property close to Wadhurst station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere as small as Best Beech Hill, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
Questions from Best Beech Hill
Is Best Beech Hill in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Best Beech Hill is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Best Beech Hill?
Yes. Best Beech Hill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. That is for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we are fully insured.
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, to the product’s details. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. We record the locations we have sealed and the products used for your files.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
What happens if it’s left?
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. In a small place like Best Beech Hill, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first.
Why us?
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
