What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with

About our fire rated sealant in Haldens
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That’s the part we focus on. If you have ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, we can help, whatever the surface.
If you run a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Haldens, its washrooms and kitchen need the same sealant care as any big building, and fire-rated sealant around service openings should be restored after new pipes or cables go through.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Hertfordshire.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Fire rated sealant around Haldens
Welwyn Garden City, which Haldens is part of, was laid out as a garden city in the early twentieth century. It has workplaces, shops and schools as well as homes, all with joints that need the right sealant. 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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you let a flat or house near Welwyn North station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. For buildings such as Christ the King, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. If you look after a building such as Waterside Academy, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Haldens
Is Haldens in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Haldens is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Haldens?
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 tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
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 option among several. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Haldens and the rest of Hertfordshire.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
The process
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access for a typical job. A visit to Haldens is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a quote
We quote each job on its own. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details and send pictures if you have them.

What else we do in Haldens
How we quote for fire rated sealant
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The amount of work
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The type of sealant required
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- Roughly how big the job is
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email pictures if that is easy.
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Why it’s worth doing now in Haldens
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again when the building is next checked. In an older home around Haldens, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Why book with us
- 12-month guarantee on every job
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- Over 20 years’ experience

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint and we’ll tell you which one you have.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
