Fire Rated Sealant in Bridge
Fire rated sealant across Bridge and nearby, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a 12-month guarantee.
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Open joints along the top of partitions
Surface by surface
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We check the gap size around the service against the product’s tested range.
About our fire rated sealant in Bridge
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. If you have damaged fire sealant left by other trades and door frames with gaps between frame and wall, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Work in a small place like Bridge is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

What else we do in Bridge
How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere like Bridge 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.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- 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 and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear the area around the work
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Bridge
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service is not always sealed again.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bridge and Patrixbourne Church of England Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- How many areas need sealing
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Access and height
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Where the job is, and your postcode
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
Workplaces and buildings in Bridge
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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Peter, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Rented homes near Bekesbourne station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Why it’s worth doing now in Bridge
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Bridge, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Common questions in Bridge
Do you cover Bridge for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Bridge is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Bridge within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What does intumescent mean?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and giving you a record of where it went.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Bridge, along with the rest of our area.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
