How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded.

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.

Why deal with it now?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. In a smaller place like Chesham Bois, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Chesham Bois
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Elangeni School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a smaller place like Chesham Bois, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
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.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

FAQs for Chesham Bois
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Amersham station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you work in hotels near Chesham Bois?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing and where.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Chesham Bois, along with the rest of our area.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
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 will quote for the sealant work on it.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What the job involves on each surface
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in.
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before work begins.
