Fire rated sealant in Ram Lane, done properly
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. Typical jobs include sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap, across door frames, plasterboard & masonry and flats & HMOs.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Ram Lane, 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.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so you can show it was dealt with.
Ram Lane questions
I let a flat near Charing station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is Ram Lane within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. All our work carries a 12-month guarantee.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The product needed can limit the range.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are for a typical job. Somewhere as small as Ram Lane, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us about any water getting in
Ask for a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email pictures if that’s easy.
Advice
What sealant work cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Why deal with it now?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own. In a small place like Ram Lane, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Why Ram Lane customers choose us
- We never seal over old sealant
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- 4.9 on Google from 180+ five-star reviews

Fire rated sealant around Ram Lane
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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Rented homes near Charing station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Ram Lane
Much fire stopping is hidden: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
If you look after a building such as The Hayesbrook School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
