About our fire rated sealant in Limekilns
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap isn’t a fire-rated seal. We cut out the wrong material and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. We work on plasterboard & masonry, linear gaps and service penetrations, and the jobs we see most are open gaps behind door architraves and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed.
For a place like Limekilns, the journey and timings are planned in advance, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Limekilns as everywhere else we work.

What sealant work cannot fix
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It will not solve:
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is normally a straightforward job.
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
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 deal with it now?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing once someone inspects it. Around Limekilns, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details; we don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
