Workplaces and buildings in Chuck Hatch
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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Around Chuck Hatch, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How the job changes by surface
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard for the gap we’re sealing.
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
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 when the building is next checked. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Chuck Hatch, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

Chuck Hatch questions
Is Chuck Hatch in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Chuck Hatch is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Chuck Hatch within the area you cover?
Yes. Chuck Hatch is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
Ratings and certificates are not something we issue. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. If we need more, we will ask.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one of the options. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Chuck Hatch
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
If you let a flat or house near Ashurst Kent station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What product goes in the joint
- How long the guarantee is
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a village or hamlet like Chuck Hatch, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
