How we handle fire rated sealant in Maidenhead
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; 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. Typical jobs include damaged fire sealant left by other trades and linear gaps at the head of walls, on linear gaps, service penetrations and door frames.
In a town like Maidenhead, commercial work can mean offices, shops, schools, surgeries or small business units. All of them have washroom and kitchen joints, and many have fire-rated joints around pipes and cables.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Maidenhead?
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it is not installed as tested. Rushed fire stopping is common particularly when it was the last job before handover.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
For buildings such as All Saints' Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Maidenhead
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Maidenhead station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Maidenhead?

Do you offer different sealant colours?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The product needed can limit the range.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Maidenhead?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we are fully insured too.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
Typically it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified room by room.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What we can’t put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record.
The process
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building for a typical job. A visit in Maidenhead needs access to the work and a place to park close by. For outside work, let us know about side access, gates and any upper-floor joints.
- 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.
