Fire Rated Sealant in Staplers
Fire-stopping gaps in Staplers need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
When to call us in Staplers
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It looks sealed, but it isn’t fire-rated.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
Community buildings like St Paul's Church are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

About our fire rated sealant in Staplers
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping is not our role; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. We work on plasterboard & masonry, door frames and service penetrations, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and open gaps behind door architraves.
Commercial work around a smaller place like Staplers usually means a pub, a shop, a school or small business units rather than office blocks. The work is the same as in a big building, just on a smaller scale.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Staplers and across the Isle of Wight.

We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Access and height
- The size of the job
- Any mould that needs treating
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The type of property
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.

Can I do it myself?
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 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.
What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard for each gap size.
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement.
Staplers questions
Is Staplers in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Staplers is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Staplers?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we’re fully insured.
What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one option among several. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
That is not something we state or certify. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you’ll get one quote.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No, we don’t assess buildings. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
Workplaces and buildings in Staplers
Staplers has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed. 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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Managing a site like Barton Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

What happens if it’s left?
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. In an older home around Staplers, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What you get with us
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Arbo and Everbuild products
See our cost guide and what customers say.
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. A visit to Staplers is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions
