About our fire rated sealant in Charcott
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That’s the part we focus on, gap by gap. If you’re dealing with gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and door frames with gaps between frame and wall, we can help, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Charcott, 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’re covered after we’ve gone.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Charcott
I let a flat near Penshurst station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Charcott?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We do not issue ratings or certificates ourselves. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No, assessment is not something we do. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we’ll quote for the sealant work on it.
Where do you work from?
We’re based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
The process
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere as small as Charcott, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
Getting a quote
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details and send pictures if you have them.

What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is usually a straightforward job.
How the job changes by surface
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in with backing where the detail needs it.
Door frames
Frame gaps are generally hidden behind the architrave. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size.
What we’re called out for in Charcott
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
For landlords with property near Penshurst station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
What your quote should include
- How hidden problems are handled
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- How much experience the applicator has

Fire rated sealant around Charcott
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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Community buildings like Church of St Luke are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Leave it or put it right?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. Work that does not follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Charcott, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start.
