Fire-rated sealant in Broadford, Surrey
Fire rated sealant across Broadford and nearby, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a 12-month guarantee.
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

How we handle fire rated sealant in Broadford
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. We work on linear gaps, pipe & cable gaps and door frames, and people most often call us about old fire sealant that has split or come away and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list.
For a small place like Broadford, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint, so ask us which we used.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record so you can show it was dealt with.
Broadford questions
Is Broadford in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Broadford is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you work for landlords with property near Shalford station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We will explain which colours are available and agree one before we start.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Tell us what needs doing and where. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It might close the gap, but it is not a fire-rated seal. A tested fire-rated product is needed and we can apply it for you.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Why act early in Broadford
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job that does not depend on other work. Older cottages and farmhouses around Broadford can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
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. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
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.
Surface by surface
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.
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified room by room.
How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a village or hamlet like Broadford, 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.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
Getting a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will come back to you with a quote.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Broadford
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust won’t perform as it was tested. Rushed fire stopping is common particularly when it was the last job before handover.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
Letting a property close to Shalford station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Commercial buildings in Broadford
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Shalford Infant School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Michael, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
