Burnham Fire Rated Sealant
Problem with your fire-stopping gaps in Burnham? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, depending on the amount of work. Parking around Burnham is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

About our fire rated sealant in Burnham
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. We work on door frames, pipe & cable gaps and service penetrations, and common reasons people get in touch are open gaps behind door architraves and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment.
Around a place like Burnham, halls, schools and small businesses all have washrooms and kitchens used by many people. Sealant and fire-rated joints there matter as much as in any larger building.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Burnham as everywhere else we work.

Why deal with it now?
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, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. In a smaller place like Burnham, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Why Burnham clients choose us
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- We’re fully insured
- Old sealant always removed completely

Different surfaces, different methods
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We seal them along their full length.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The type of sealant required
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will talk you through it.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- The type of property
- If someone has resealed it before
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- How we’d reach the joints
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Burnham
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Burnham. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on. 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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Community buildings like St Peter's Church are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Managing a site like The E-Act Burnham Park Academy? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Burnham questions
Do you cover smaller places like Burnham?
Yes. Burnham 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.
I let a flat near Burnham station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Burnham, along with the rest of our area.
When to call us in Burnham
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
If you let a flat or house near Burnham station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
What your quote should include
- What happens if the job turns out different
- How long to leave it before use
- What product goes in the joint
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some can’t.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
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.
