Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Wanstead
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; in a fire it expands into the joint. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. We are often asked to deal with gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and door frames with gaps between frame and wall, across service penetrations, flats & HMOs and pipe & cable gaps.
Across London, offices, shops, hotels, student halls and blocks of flats all need sealant work from time to time, from washroom silicone to fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables passing through walls. Out-of-hours working can be arranged where a building in Wanstead cannot close.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Questions from Wanstead
Can you do fire rated sealant in Wanstead?
Yes, Wanstead is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is parking an issue for fire rated sealant in Wanstead?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. If you need photos or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
When to call us in Wanstead
Gaps also open up as buildings move: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
As a London address, Wanstead can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
Frame gaps are normally hidden behind the architrave. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size so the architrave can be refitted.
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in over any backing the detail calls for.
Workplaces and buildings in Wanstead
Many London buildings have tight access and loading restrictions, so out-of-hours working can be arranged where needed. 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’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a building such as Wanstead Church School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Letting a property close to Leytonstone High Road station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
You will get a clear quote before we start. It’s based on:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number and length of the joints
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. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Where the job is, and your postcode
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

Landlords and agents in Wanstead can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
The process
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. It normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a London area like Wanstead, the main things to plan are parking and access: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we are working on and whether there’s a lift.
- 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.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
