About our fire rated sealant in Mid Holmwood
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. If you are dealing with old fire sealant that has split or come away and damaged fire sealant left by other trades, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Mid Holmwood, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why deal with it now?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand isn’t fire stopping. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, so both the product and the method matter. Around Mid Holmwood, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What you get with us
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- We’re fully insured
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas

How we quote for fire rated sealant
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The product the joint needs
- When we can work, for business premises
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- The address or postcode of the job
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The problem you’ve noticed
We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Common problems we fix in Mid Holmwood
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It may look fine, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
Community buildings like Church of St John the Evangelist are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.

What else we do in Mid Holmwood
What fire rated sealant looks like in Mid Holmwood
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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you let a flat or house near Holmwood station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. Managing a site like St John's Church of England Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Mid Holmwood
Is Mid Holmwood within the area you cover?
Yes, Mid Holmwood is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Holmwood station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
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, and we install to them.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Tell us how the building is used and we will plan around it.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
