Fire rated sealant in Bodle Street Green, done properly
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk does not make it fire-rated. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. We work on flats & HMOs, plasterboard & masonry and pipe & cable gaps, and the jobs we see most are sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and unsealed gaps around fire door frames.
For a small place like Bodle Street Green, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere as small as Bodle Street Green, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Common questions in Bodle Street Green
Is fire rated sealant in Bodle Street Green guaranteed?
All our work, in Bodle Street Green and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover smaller places like Bodle Street Green?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Standard sealants are not made or tested to stop fire. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the seal has something sound to bond to.
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both from the manufacturer’s details.
Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Workplaces and buildings in Bodle Street Green
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.
In and around Bodle Street Green, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St John the Evangelist, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

What affects the quote in Bodle Street Green
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- Any mould that needs treating
- The product the joint needs
- The number and length of the joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The rough size of the job
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
Keeping the joints in good condition
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
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
