Fire-rated sealant in South Hanningfield, Essex
Fire rated sealant in South Hanningfield from a team with over 20 years’ experience. Rated 4.9 on Google from 180+ five-star reviews.

- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail and we flag any that need another system.
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist, and we’ll say if we spot a problem with them.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in South Hanningfield
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; 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. We work on linear gaps, flats & HMOs and plasterboard & masonry, and the jobs we see most are holes left by a change of layout and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near South Hanningfield, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number and length of the joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Which sealant suits the joint
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Where the property is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The rough size of the job
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
For landlords and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.

South Hanningfield: your questions answered
Can you do fire rated sealant in South Hanningfield?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and South Hanningfield is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like South Hanningfield?
Yes, South Hanningfield is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam isn’t tested as fire stopping. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
Why it’s worth doing now in South Hanningfield
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. Older cottages and farmhouses around South Hanningfield can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What you get with us
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work

Fire rated sealant in South Hanningfield: local notes
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’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Community buildings like Church of St Peter are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Nearby places to South Hanningfield
Also in South Hanningfield
Do you need fire rated sealant in South Hanningfield?
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
For landlords with property near Wickford station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
What your quote should include

The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a village or hamlet like South Hanningfield, the journey is planned in advance: 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 begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
