Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Speedwell
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That detail is what we take care over, one gap at a time. We work on flats & HMOs, plasterboard & masonry and service penetrations, and common reasons people get in touch are new service routes left unsealed after building work and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey.
For a small place like Speedwell, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Speedwell questions
I let a flat near Aspley Guise station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you take on hotel work around Speedwell?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. Our work is the gap around the frame, and we will mention anything we notice about the door.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before work begins.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Speedwell.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations
Common problems we fix in Speedwell
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It may look fine, but it is not a fire-rated seal.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
If you let a flat or house near Aspley Guise station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
What your quote should include
- How much experience the applicator has
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- When the joint can take water or movement

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
Any fire seal that’s cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Leave it or put it right?
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, and we work to the product details every time. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Speedwell, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Workplaces and buildings in Speedwell
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Speedwell. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on. 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.
Schools such as Woburn Lower School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. For buildings such as Church of Saint Mary, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

How the visit works
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a small place like Speedwell, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
