How we handle fire rated sealant in Maylandsea
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. Common call-outs are for new service routes left unsealed after building work and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment, on door frames, service penetrations and pipe & cable gaps.
In a village or hamlet like Maylandsea, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Maylandsea and across Essex.

Maylandsea questions
I let a flat near Althorne station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Maylandsea in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Maylandsea is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.

Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. We work in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other commercial buildings, including occupied ones. The order of work and access are planned with you.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used to keep with your fire safety documents.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Maylandsea
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Maylandsea, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. 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.

Advice
Surface by surface
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance so residents know what to expect.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Maylandsea
Door frames are a common weak spot. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
People generally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
Schools such as Maylandsea Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether the work is at height
- The product the joint needs
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
