Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Mill Meads
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. We work on linear gaps, pipe & cable gaps and door frames, and the jobs we see most are gaps left after a refit or conversion and unsealed gaps around fire door frames.
In London’s blocks of flats, service risers and common parts have pipes and cables passing through walls and floors. For managing agents and building owners in Mill Meads, that can mean fire-rated sealant around service openings as well as resealing in shared washrooms and kitchens.

Common problems we fix in Mill Meads
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
Mill Meads is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

FAQs for Mill Meads
Can you help a landlord with a rental near West Ham station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can phone 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.
Do you take on hotel work around Mill Meads?
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.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product, to the product’s details. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No, assessment isn’t something we do. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we will quote for the sealant work on it.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What the job involves on each surface
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We measure the gap at its widest point to make sure it suits the product.
What sealant work can’t fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps

Fire rated sealant in Mill Meads: local notes
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Mill Meads. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed. 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.
Schools such as East London Science School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Letting a property close to West Ham station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, depending on how much there is to do. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Mill Meads. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- 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 faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
