Fire Rated Sealant in Silver End
Intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations for homes and businesses in Silver End and across Essex. ARBOMaster approved applicators, fully insured, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
Why deal with it now?
Sealant is not the fix for every opening. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. If a gap isn’t suitable for sealant, we will tell you. In a smaller place like Silver End, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

About our fire rated sealant in Silver End
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. If you have gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant, we can help.
In a smaller place like Silver End, commercial jobs tend to be smaller buildings: a pub, a surgery, a school, a shop or a few business units. The work is the same as in a big building, just on a smaller scale.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many areas need sealing
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The rough size of the job
- If someone has resealed it before

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record so the item can be closed.
Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We work through the gaps on your assessment room by room.
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist.
Fire rated sealant around Silver End
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.
For landlords with property near White Notley station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. Community buildings like St Francis' Church are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Questions from Silver End
Is Silver End within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near White Notley station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
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 should I tell you?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. Occupied flats, HMOs, offices and schools are all fine, with access planned around residents or staff. Early starts or out-of-hours work can be arranged.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Silver End
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust will not perform as it was tested. Rushed fire stopping is common, especially where it was squeezed in at the end of a project.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
If you look after a building such as Silver End Academy, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, depending on the size of the job. Parking around Silver End is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re 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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
