About our fire rated sealant in Dagenham Dock
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; then it swells to help close the gap. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it. If you have gaps left after a refit or conversion and fire seals that have cracked with movement, we can put it right, on flats & HMOs, door frames and plasterboard & masonry alike.
In London’s blocks of flats, service risers and common parts have pipes and cables passing through walls and floors. For managing agents and building owners in Dagenham Dock, that can mean fire-rated sealant around service openings as well as resealing in shared washrooms and kitchens.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Fire rated sealant around Dagenham Dock
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details. Many London buildings have tight access and loading restrictions, so out-of-hours working can be arranged where needed.
As a London address, Dagenham Dock can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Community buildings like St Martin's Church are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Dagenham Dock: your questions answered
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Dagenham Dock?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Do you work for landlords with property near Dagenham Dock station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
How long will you be here?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. We will tell you when we quote.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one of the options. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. We record the locations we have sealed and the products used for your files.
How the job changes by surface
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.
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the sealant bonds.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Dagenham Dock?
Door frames are a common weak spot. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
Managing a site like St Peter's Catholic Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

What affects the quote in Dagenham Dock
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The product the joint needs
- Access and height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Where the property is
There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Landlord and commercial work in Dagenham Dock
Landlords and letting agents in Dagenham Dock can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
