Why it’s worth doing now in Colne Engaine
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. Older cottages and farmhouses around Colne Engaine can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

Fire rated sealant in Colne Engaine
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate. If you’re dealing with open gaps behind door architraves and fire seals that have cracked with movement, we can help, on door frames, linear gaps and flats & HMOs alike.
In a village or hamlet like Colne Engaine, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

What sealant work can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
Workplaces and buildings in Colne Engaine
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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
For landlords with property near Chappel & Wakes Colne station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Parish Church of St Andrew, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In a small place like Colne Engaine, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and list the locations and products for you.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we are fully insured too.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself.

Surface by surface
Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We work along the whole run leaving no stretch unsealed.
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail, and tell you if sealant alone isn’t the right fix.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Colne Engaine
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust won’t perform as it was tested. Rushed fire stopping is common.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
If you look after a building such as Colne Engaine Church of England Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
What to look for in a quote
