Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Fire rated sealant in East Preston, done properly
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. We’re often asked to deal with fire stopping disturbed by later work and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, on door frames, linear gaps and plasterboard & masonry.
If you run a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near East Preston, its washrooms and kitchen need the same sealant care as any big building, and fire-rated sealant around service openings should be restored after new pipes or cables go through.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Different surfaces, different methods
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We seal them along their full length leaving no stretch unsealed.
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The size of the job
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The old material and how stubborn it is
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before we start.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- If someone has resealed it before
- The type of property
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The address or postcode of the job
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will come back to you with a quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in East Preston
A quick fill with any sealant to hand isn’t fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. Homes in smaller places like East Preston can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll talk you through it.

Workplaces and buildings in East Preston
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like East Preston, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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.
If you look after a building such as East Preston Infant School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. If you let a flat or house near Angmering station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. Community buildings like The Parish Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam is not tested as fire stopping. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
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.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
Typically it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
