Fire rated sealant in Tattenhoe, done properly
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. Typical jobs include linear gaps at the head of walls and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed, across door frames, linear gaps and plasterboard & masonry.
If you run a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Tattenhoe, the washrooms and kitchen need the same attention as a big site, and fire-rated sealant around service openings should be restored after new pipes or cables go through.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

Common problems we fix in Tattenhoe
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It looks sealed, but it is not fire-rated.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
Managing a site like Giles Brook Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
Before booking anyone
- How hidden problems are handled
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. A visit to Tattenhoe 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.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Tattenhoe: your questions answered
Can you do fire rated sealant in Tattenhoe?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Tattenhoe is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Tattenhoe?
Yes. Tattenhoe is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Let us know the building’s hours and we’ll plan the work to suit.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we are fully insured.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
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.
What the job involves on each surface
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
Workplaces and buildings in Tattenhoe
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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Giles's Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Letting a property close to Bletchley station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
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.
