Do you need fire rated sealant in Calvert?
Door frames are a common weak spot. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Holes left by a change of layout
In and around Calvert, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What to look for in a quote
- How much experience the applicator has
- Is VAT in the price?
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared

Fire rated sealant in Calvert
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. 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 pipe & cable gaps, flats & HMOs and linear gaps, and the jobs we see most are gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and open gaps behind door architraves.
Work in a small place like Calvert 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 isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Calvert
Do you cover smaller places like Calvert?
Yes. Calvert 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.
What guarantee comes with fire rated sealant in Calvert?
All our work, in Calvert and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing and where.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one option among several. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, depending on how much there is to do. Somewhere as small as Calvert, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about parking restrictions

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
For landlords and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
When something else is needed
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work in Calvert
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
What the job involves on each surface
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We work along the whole run leaving no stretch unsealed.
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We check the gap size around the service to make sure it suits the product.

Commercial buildings in Calvert
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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
For buildings such as Church of St Michael, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded so you can show it was dealt with.
