Fire rated sealant in Freefolk, done properly
Landlords, managing agents and facilities teams use us for the sealant items on a fire risk assessment for buildings in Freefolk. Send us the list or the survey and we’ll quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. We’re often asked to deal with gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and open joints along the top of partitions, across service penetrations, flats & HMOs and plasterboard & masonry.
Somewhere as small as Freefolk, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Freefolk
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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Rented homes near Whitchurch (Hampshire) station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Community buildings like Church of St Mary the Virgin are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Testbourne Community School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified.
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach.

Questions from Freefolk
Do you cover smaller places like Freefolk?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Freefolk?
Yes, Freefolk is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Freefolk and the rest of Hampshire.

Why it’s worth doing now in Freefolk
For some gaps, sealant is not the right answer and another system is needed. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We’ll say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Older cottages and farmhouses around Freefolk can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
