Fire rated sealant in Chillerton
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. Common call-outs are for unsealed gaps around fire door frames and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated, on flats & HMOs, linear gaps and door frames.
Work in a small place like Chillerton is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified.
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details.
Leave it or put it right?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand isn’t fire stopping. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. Around Chillerton, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.

- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas

Commercial buildings in Chillerton
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 are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St. Olave's Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Managing a site like Chillerton and Rookley Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

FAQs for Chillerton
Do you cover Chillerton for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Chillerton is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
What guarantee comes with fire rated sealant in Chillerton?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
What’s the difference between intumescent and 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. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access for a typical job. In a small place like Chillerton, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move anything stored near the joints

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record so you can show it was dealt with.
When it is not the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- When we can work, for business premises
- The product the joint needs
- The size of the job
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- How we’d reach the joints
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work.
