Fire-rated sealant in Frilsham, West Berkshire
Fire-stopping gaps in Frilsham need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
About our fire rated sealant in Frilsham
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. If you’re dealing with gaps left after a refit or conversion and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, we can help, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Frilsham, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Frilsham as everywhere else we work.

What we’re called out for in Frilsham
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It looks sealed, but it is not fire-rated.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Frideswide, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
You will get a clear quote before we start. It’s based on:
- Whether the work is at height
- Any mould that needs treating
- The old material and how stubborn it is

What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before we start.

- Whether it has been sealed before
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Will it make a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Frilsham?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?

Where is Mr Mastic based?

Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. It looks sealed but won’t perform as fire stopping. A tested fire-rated product is needed, or ask us to do it.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No, we do not assess buildings. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we will quote for the sealant work on it.
How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the seal has something sound to bond to.
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in with backing where the detail needs it.
How it works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access in most cases. Somewhere like Frilsham needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

Commercial buildings in Frilsham
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 are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Schools such as Yattendon C.E. Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. If you let a flat or house near Midgham station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is normally a straightforward job.
