The Hangers Fire Rated Sealant
Problem with your fire-stopping gaps in The Hangers? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a one-year guarantee.
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
For landlords and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured for the work.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
About our fire rated sealant in The Hangers
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 service penetrations, flats & HMOs and plasterboard & masonry, and people most often call us about joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers.
In a village or hamlet like The Hangers, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Different surfaces, different methods
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement.
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product and the locations noted.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Do not drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes and the job gets bigger.
Workplaces and buildings in The Hangers
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 building such as Bishops Waltham Infant School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. For landlords with property near Botley station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Advice
Your questions about fire rated sealant in The Hangers
Do you cover The Hangers for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and The Hangers is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to The Hangers?
Yes, The Hangers is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover The Hangers, along with the rest of our area.
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What affects the quote in The Hangers
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Access and height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Which sealant suits the joint
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
