Burpham Fire Rated Sealant
We cover Burpham for intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
How we handle fire rated sealant in Burpham
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap isn’t a fire-rated seal. We cut out the wrong material and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. If you are dealing with fire stopping disturbed by later work and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, we can help, whatever the surface.
Commercial work around a smaller place like Burpham usually means a pub, a shop, a school or small business units rather than office blocks. The work is the same as in a big building, just on a smaller scale.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after we have gone.

Burpham questions
Do you cover Burpham for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Burpham is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near London Road (Guildford) station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. We regularly work in flats, HMOs, schools and offices while they’re in use, with access planned around residents or staff. Early starts or out-of-hours work can be arranged if that suits the building.
What does intumescent mean?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all and which one is used depends on the job.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
As a guide, most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will quote.
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Burpham?
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.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
Schools such as George Abbot School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

What sealant work cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- How much there is to do
- When we can work, for business premises
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many areas need sealing
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What to tell us for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll talk you through the work before giving you a price.
How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on. The job usually takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Parking around Burpham is normally 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.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
How to get a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.
Advice
Fire rated sealant around Burpham
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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 landlords with property near London Road (Guildford) station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. For buildings such as Church of the Holy Spirit, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
