How we handle fire rated sealant in Madley Park
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; in a fire it expands into the joint. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it. We work on flats & HMOs, pipe & cable gaps and service penetrations, and people most often call us about gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment.
For a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Madley Park, the washrooms and kitchen need the same attention as a big site.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We measure the gap at its widest point against the product’s tested range.
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
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.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
Commercial buildings in Madley Park
Madley Park has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed. 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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Schools such as Madley Brook Community Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of Holy Trinity, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether the work is at height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The address or postcode of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.
Madley Park questions
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Madley Park?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
I let a flat near Combe station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No, assessment is not something we do. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we’ll quote for the sealant work on it.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Madley Park, along with the rest of our area.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
Ratings and certificates are not something we issue. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer; we install to those details and record what we did.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Madley Park
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it isn’t installed as tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
If you let a flat or house near Combe station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, depending on how much there is to do. For a job in Madley Park, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
