Commercial buildings in Broad Oak
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’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
For buildings such as The Parish Church of St George, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Managing a site like Brede Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Fire rated sealant in Broad Oak
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, and we can record what went where. We work on flats & HMOs, plasterboard & masonry and service penetrations, and people most often call us about linear gaps at the head of walls and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment.
Work in a small place like Broad Oak is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Working hours on commercial sites
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the property is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work before giving you a price.

Questions from Broad Oak
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Doleham station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Broad Oak?
Yes, Broad Oak is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. We work in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other commercial buildings, including occupied ones. We agree access and the order of work with you first.
What fire rating will the seal have?
Ratings and certificates are not something we issue. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer, and we install to them.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we are fully insured.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Broad Oak
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
Letting a property close to Doleham station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach.
What we do, step by step
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. For a village or hamlet like Broad Oak, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed 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, then guaranteed for a year.
