About our fire rated sealant in Cooper's Green
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. If you have damaged fire sealant left by other trades and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Cooper's Green, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Cooper's Green and across Hertfordshire.

Why deal with it now?
Sealant is not the fix for every opening. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. If a gap isn’t suitable for sealant, we will tell you. Older cottages and farmhouses around Cooper's Green can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
Fire rated sealant in Cooper's Green: local notes
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. Hatfield, which Cooper's Green is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. Hatfield was planned with its own industrial and business areas, so there are offices, units and workplaces not far from home. Each has washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints to keep in order.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Howe Dell Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

The visit itself usually takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, depending on the size of the job.

Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.

How the job changes by surface
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth with backing where the detail needs it.
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We work along the whole run so there are no open sections left.
What we are called out for in Cooper's Green
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service isn’t always sealed again.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Holes left by a change of layout
Letting a property close to Hatfield station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Cooper's Green questions
Can you do fire rated sealant in Cooper's Green?
Yes, Cooper's Green is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Hatfield station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam isn’t tested as fire stopping. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. That is for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
