Fire rated sealant in Bradwell
Landlords, managing agents and facilities teams use us for the sealant items on a fire risk assessment. Send us the list or the survey and we will quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. We work on door frames, flats & HMOs and linear gaps, and the jobs we see most are holes left by a change of layout and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed.
In a village or hamlet like Bradwell, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The size of the job
- Any mould that needs treating
- Access and height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- If someone has resealed it before
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work before giving you a price.

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out 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 matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Door frames

Commercial buildings in Bradwell
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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a building such as Burford School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. For buildings such as Church of St Mary, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Questions from Bradwell
Do you cover Bradwell for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Bradwell is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Is fire rated sealant in Bradwell guaranteed?
All our work, in Bradwell and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and list the locations and products for you.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Bradwell, along with the rest of our area.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before we start.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one option among several. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
The process
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Bradwell needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Why it’s worth doing now in Bradwell
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own and needn’t wait for anything else. Around Bradwell, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
