Shipley Bridge Fire Rated Sealant
Intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Shipley Bridge. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
Fire rated sealant in Shipley Bridge, done properly
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 service penetrations, linear gaps and plasterboard & masonry, and common reasons people get in touch are fire seals that have cracked with movement and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed.
Somewhere as small as Shipley Bridge, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Linear gaps
Why it’s worth doing now in Shipley Bridge
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now means you can show the action was taken. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Shipley Bridge, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance to keep disruption down.
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We measure the gap at its widest point against the product’s tested range.

Shipley Bridge: your questions answered
Will you come out to Shipley Bridge?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Gatwick Airport station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Should I try DIY first?
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.
How it works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access in most cases. Somewhere as small as Shipley Bridge, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- 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.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Fire rated sealant in Shipley Bridge: local notes
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Shipley Bridge. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed. 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.
Managing a site like Forge Wood Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Letting a property close to Gatwick Airport station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. For buildings such as Church of St Bartholomew, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
