Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Kelvedon
Landlords, managing agents and facilities teams use us for the sealant items on a fire risk assessment for buildings in Kelvedon. If you share the list, we can quote for the gaps that need fire-rated sealant. We work on pipe & cable gaps, linear gaps and door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are unsealed gaps around fire door frames and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers.
Around a place like Kelvedon, halls, schools and small businesses all have washrooms and kitchens used by many people. Their sealant and fire-rated joints are as important as those in any bigger building.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
Do not drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is generally a straightforward job.
Common questions in Kelvedon
Is Kelvedon within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Kelvedon station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself, and we will mention anything we notice about the door.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Kelvedon?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
What affects the quote in Kelvedon
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The number of rooms or windows
- When we can work, for business premises
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The type of sealant required
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before we start.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Where the property is
- Roughly how big the job is
- The type of property
- Photos by email, if that is easy
For a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You’ll have a clear quote before we start.
What sealant work can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
For anyone letting property in or around Kelvedon, several properties can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and pictures by email help.
When to call us in Kelvedon
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
If you look after a building such as Kelvedon St Mary's Church of England Primary Academy, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Kelvedon
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, 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.
Letting a property close to Kelvedon station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Parish Church of St Mary, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

How the visit works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. A visit to Kelvedon 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 begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
