Trusted fire rated sealant in Flemings

Why deal with it now?

For some gaps, sealant isn’t the right answer and another system is needed. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. We will say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. In a small place like Flemings, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Flemings

In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. Typical jobs include seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, on flats & HMOs, linear gaps and service penetrations.

For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Flemings, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Flemings

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.

Managing a site like Ash Cartwright and Kelsey Church of England Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Nicholas, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Common questions in Flemings

Can you help a landlord with a rental near Sandwich station?

Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.

Do you cover smaller places like Flemings?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.

Is there any odour?

There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.

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 option among several. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.

Where are you based?

Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Flemings.

Do you provide details of the products used?

Yes. We note each location and the product that went in, so you have it on file.

Will you assess my building’s fire safety?

No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.

Do you offer different sealant colours?

Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep the joints looking good and working properly:

  • Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
  • Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
  • Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
  • Keep photos of seals that will be hidden

Do not 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.

Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Flemings

Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The product the joint needs
  • Any working-time requirements on site
  • How many areas need sealing
  • The old material and how stubborn it is

Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Asking for a quote

To help us quote quickly, let us know:

  • Any access issues, like height or stairs
  • The rough size of the job
  • What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
  • Whether it has been sealed before

There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To arrange one, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Common problems we fix in Flemings

A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.

It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:

  • Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
  • Holes left by a change of layout
  • Fire seals that have cracked with movement
  • Open gaps behind door architraves

For landlords with property near Sandwich station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Comparing quotes

  • What happens if the job turns out different
  • When the joint can take water or movement
  • Whether they’re fully insured

10 questions to ask before you book

What we do, step by step

There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Flemings, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.

  1. We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
  2. Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
  3. We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
  4. The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
  5. Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
  • Tell us if parking is tricky
  • Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Related advice

Can I do it myself?

A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
