How we handle fire rated sealant in Snagshall
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. 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. We are often asked to deal with standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and gaps left after a refit or conversion, on pipe & cable gaps, door frames and plasterboard & masonry.
Work in a small place like Snagshall is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Workplaces and buildings in Snagshall
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you let a flat or house near Robertsbridge station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Schools such as Bodiam Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
FAQs for Snagshall
Can you do fire rated sealant in Snagshall?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Snagshall is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Robertsbridge station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes, whether the building is a school, an office, flats or an HMO, and whether it’s in use or not. Let us know the building’s hours and we will plan the work to suit.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In a small place like Snagshall, access is usually the main thing to plan. 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.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own. In a small place like Snagshall, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Snagshall
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service isn’t always sealed again.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as The Parish Church of St James, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
What to look for in a quote

What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist.
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified room by room.
