Fire rated sealant in Bossingham, done properly
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That’s the part we focus on, gap by gap. If you’re dealing with gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and gaps left after a refit or conversion, we can help, on pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and door frames alike.
Somewhere as small as Bossingham, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work usually takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Bossingham needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- 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.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
Common questions in Bossingham
Can you do fire rated sealant in Bossingham?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Bossingham is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
I let a flat near Chartham station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Standard sealants aren’t made or tested to stop fire. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
What we are called out for in Bossingham
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
People generally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
Community buildings like Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What preparation is included
- How hidden problems are handled
- How long the guarantee is
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
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.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll quote.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Bossingham
In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, 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.
If you look after a building such as Stelling Minnis Church of England Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. For landlords with property near Chartham station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
