Plaistow: your questions answered
Do you work in hotels near Plaistow?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Do you work for landlords with property near Sundridge Park station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. 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 carry out fire risk assessments?
No, assessment isn’t something we do. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant and which one is used depends on the job.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use, installed to its details.
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 following the tested details. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
Do you cover Plaistow?
Yes. We cover Plaistow. To book, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
About our fire rated sealant in Plaistow
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate. Common call-outs are for linear gaps at the head of walls and open holes round services passing through fire walls, on door frames, plasterboard & masonry and linear gaps.
London blocks of flats carry pipes and cables through walls and floors in their common parts and service risers. For managing agents and building owners in Plaistow, that can mean fire-rated sealant around service openings as well as resealing in shared washrooms and kitchens.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

How the job changes by surface
Flats and HMOs
Conversions normally leave a mix of old and new service holes. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product and record where they are.
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We measure the gap at its widest point to make sure it suits the product.
When something else is needed
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps

What fire rated sealant looks like in Plaistow
Many London buildings have tight access and loading restrictions, and out-of-hours working is possible to arrange. Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. 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 St Mary’s Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. If you look after a building such as Burnt Ash Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Rented homes near Sundridge Park station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Landlord and commercial work in Plaistow
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
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 and the job gets bigger.
