Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Pedlinge
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; 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, so we follow the tested detail for each one. We work on linear gaps, flats & HMOs and service penetrations, and people most often call us about gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and open joints along the top of partitions.
Work in a small place like Pedlinge is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We check the gap size around the service against the product’s tested range.
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes are not treated the same. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail.
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere as small as Pedlinge, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Fire rated sealant in Pedlinge: local notes
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Pedlinge, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Pedlinge Chapel, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Managing a site like Brockhill Park Performing Arts College? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system

When to call us in Pedlinge
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It looks sealed, but it is not fire-rated.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
Letting a property close to Sandling station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
Questions to ask before booking
- Is VAT in the price?
- What preparation is included
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Pedlinge
Is Pedlinge in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Pedlinge is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Pedlinge?
Yes, Pedlinge is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can tenants book the work?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. We regularly work in flats, HMOs, schools and offices while they’re in use, with access planned around residents or staff. Early starts or out-of-hours work can be arranged.
Why it’s worth doing now in Pedlinge
Sealant isn’t the fix for every opening. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We’ll say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Pedlinge, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
