Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Ferring
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate. Typical jobs include linear gaps at the head of walls and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls, on plasterboard & masonry, door frames and pipe & cable gaps.
Community buildings, schools and small businesses around places like Ferring have washrooms and kitchens that see a lot of use. Their sealant and fire-rated joints are as important as those in any bigger building.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Fire rated sealant around Ferring
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Ferring, 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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ferring CofE Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. For landlords with property near Goring-By-Sea station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one of the options. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
That isn’t something we state or certify. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we apply a product tested for it with a record of each location.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is usually a straightforward job.
Why it’s worth doing now in Ferring
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own and needn’t wait for anything else. In a smaller place like Ferring, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. For a job in Ferring, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Move anything stored near the joints

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number of rooms or windows
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Roughly how big the job is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Where the job is, and your postcode
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
What we’re called out for in Ferring
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It may look fine, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
For buildings such as St Andrew's Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
