How we handle fire rated sealant in Ulting
We do not assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. If you have gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and open holes round services passing through fire walls, we can help.
For a small place like Ulting, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on. The job usually takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere as small as Ulting, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Questions from Ulting
Do you work for landlords with property near Hatfield Peverel station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you cover Ulting for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Ulting is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. All our work carries a one-year guarantee.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Commercial buildings in Ulting
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you let a flat or house near Hatfield Peverel station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

When something else is needed
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work in Ulting
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
When to call us in Ulting
Over time, buildings change layout and use. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
Community buildings like Church of All Saints are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Is VAT in the price?
- What the cure time is
For landlords and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded.

How the job changes by 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.
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
What happens if it’s left?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. In a small place like Ulting, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
