What we are called out for in Theydon Bois
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
If you look after a building such as Theydon Bois Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Fire rated sealant in Theydon Bois, done properly
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That is the part we focus on, gap by gap. If you have linear gaps at the head of walls and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, we can put it right, on plasterboard & masonry, linear gaps and door frames alike.
If you run a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Theydon Bois, the washrooms and kitchen need the same attention as a big site.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
Questions from Theydon Bois
Can you do fire rated sealant in Theydon Bois?
Yes, Theydon Bois is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you work for landlords with property near Chingford station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No, assessment is not something we do. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself, and we will mention anything we notice about the door.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we are fully insured too.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Theydon Bois?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a smaller place like Theydon Bois, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Related advice
Why deal with it now?
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. In an older home around Theydon Bois, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

What affects the quote in Theydon Bois
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The size of the job
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
