What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
You will get a clear quote before work begins. It takes into account:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Access and height
- The number and length of the joints
- The type of sealant required
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- If someone has resealed it before
- Roughly how big the job is
- A few pictures by email, if you can
Every job is quoted individually, so start by telling us what you need. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in High Salvington
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. If you have open holes round services passing through fire walls and damaged fire sealant left by other trades, we can help.
Commercial work around a smaller place like High Salvington normally means a pub, a shop, a school or small business units rather than office blocks. Each needs the same care with its sealant as any larger building.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in High Salvington and across West Sussex.

When something else is needed
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. It will not solve:
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

High Salvington: your questions answered
Is High Salvington within the area you cover?
Yes, High Salvington is covered. 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.
I let a flat near Durrington-On-Sea station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we’re done.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself and we will tell you if we spot problems with the door.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. We regularly work in flats, HMOs, schools and offices while they’re in use. Out-of-hours work can be arranged where it’s needed.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we’re fully insured too.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We do not issue ratings or certificates ourselves. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves, and we install to them.
What fire rated sealant looks like in High Salvington
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. High Salvington has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.
Schools such as Vale School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Community buildings like St Peter are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Common problems we fix in High Salvington
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
Look out for any of the following:
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment

Leave it or put it right?
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the work involved is often modest. In a smaller place like High Salvington, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record so you can show it was dealt with.
The process
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Parking around High Salvington is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
