Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Bulverhythe
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 apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. Typical jobs include standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and gaps left after a refit or conversion, on linear gaps, plasterboard & masonry and flats & HMOs.
For a small place like Bulverhythe, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

What happens if it’s left?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Bulverhythe, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. We use a product tested in that kind of wall for each gap size.
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the sealant bonds.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Bulverhythe
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Bulverhythe, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. 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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you look after a building such as The St Leonards Academy, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. For buildings such as St Ethelburga's Church Mission Hall, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Bulverhythe?
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It looks sealed, but it is not fire-rated.
The most common problems we see are:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
Letting a property close to West St Leonards station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Bulverhythe: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Bulverhythe?
Yes. Bulverhythe is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you take on hotel work around Bulverhythe?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No, assessment is not something we do. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we are fully insured too.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Honest limits
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

Should I try it myself first?
If you are 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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
