Fire rated sealant in Freeland, done properly
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping is not our role; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. If you are dealing with open gaps behind door architraves and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, we can help.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Freeland, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Landlord and commercial work in Freeland
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
Why it’s worth doing now in Freeland
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. How it’s installed changes how it performs, and we work to the product details every time. Around Freeland, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why book with us
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels

Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product and the locations noted.
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Fire rated sealant around Freeland
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.
Rented homes near Combe station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Freeland Church of England Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

When to call us in Freeland
Gaps also open up as buildings move: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
Look out for these signs:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
For buildings such as Church of St Mary, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Advice
Questions from Freeland
Is Freeland within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Freeland?
Yes, Freeland is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Freeland?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one of the options. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Generally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
