Fire rated sealant in Salford
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. 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. If you’re dealing with new service routes left unsealed after building work and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Salford is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere like Salford needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before we start. It won’t solve:
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Linear gaps

- Door frames

Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail and we’ll flag it.
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We measure the gap at its widest point against the product’s tested range.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Leave it or put it right?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own. Around Salford, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Salford?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What does intumescent mean?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Salford
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 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 Church of St Mary, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Chipping Norton School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. If you let a flat or house near Kingham station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
