Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Hammerpot
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. If you have gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and door frames with gaps between frame and wall, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Hammerpot, 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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on. The job usually takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go.

- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- 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.

Advice
What we’re called out for in Hammerpot
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
People generally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as The Parish Church of St Margaret, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
Before booking anyone
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Is VAT in the price?
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
What the job involves on each surface
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before work begins to keep disruption down.
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
Hammerpot questions
Do you cover Hammerpot for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Hammerpot is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Will you come out to Hammerpot?
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.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. Our work is the gap around the frame, and we’ll mention anything we notice about the door.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Bigger jobs take longer.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. We regularly work in flats, HMOs, schools and offices while they’re in use, with access planned around residents or staff. Early starts or out-of-hours work can be arranged where it’s needed.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It looks sealed but will not perform as fire stopping. Use a product tested for that gap and service.
When something else is needed
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
Fire rated sealant in Hammerpot: local notes
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Hammerpot, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. 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’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Margaret's CofE Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. If you let a flat or house near Angmering station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

What else we do in Hammerpot
Why it’s worth doing now in Hammerpot
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own. Around Hammerpot, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
