Fire rated sealant in Rivenhall End
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 the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. If you have unsealed gaps around fire door frames and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, we can help.
For a small place like Rivenhall End, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Why act early in Rivenhall End
For some gaps, sealant isn’t the right answer and another system is needed. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. If a gap is not suitable for sealant, we’ll tell you. Older cottages and farmhouses around Rivenhall End can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why us?
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
What we cannot put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How the visit works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on.

We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.

What else we do in Rivenhall End
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record so the item can be closed.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Rivenhall End
Do you cover smaller places like Rivenhall End?
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.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Witham station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one option among several. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal. A tested fire-rated product is needed, or ask us to do it.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant, to the product’s details. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Rivenhall End?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- The product the joint needs
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How easy the joints are to reach
- When we can work, for business premises
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will take it from there.
Fire rated sealant around Rivenhall End
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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary and All Saints, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Schools such as Rivenhall Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. If you let a flat or house near Witham station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
