About our fire rated sealant in Maldon
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping is not our role; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. Common call-outs are for open joints along the top of partitions and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated, on door frames, pipe & cable gaps and linear gaps.
Commercial jobs in a town like Maldon range from shops and offices to schools and small business units. Each has washrooms, kitchens and service openings through walls that need the right sealant.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents and landlords in Maldon can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
What affects the quote in Maldon
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The number and length of the joints
- The product the joint needs
- Any mould that needs treating
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.

Questions from Maldon
Do you cover Maldon for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Maldon is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Is fire rated sealant in Maldon guaranteed?
All our work, in Maldon and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you’ll get one quote.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We do not issue ratings or certificates ourselves. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer.
Can tenants book the work?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
What sealant work cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Movement in the structure can open gaps too: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
People generally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
Managing a site like Maldon Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
What your quote should include
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- When the joint can take water or movement
Why it’s worth doing now in Maldon
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that does not follow the tested detail may have to come out again when the building is next checked. Gaps in sealant and mould in the bead never get better on their own, and in a busy household in Maldon they spread with every shower and every downpour. Now is the easy time to put it right.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

The process
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. A visit in Maldon needs access to the work and a place to park close by.

- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Before we arrive
