Fire-rated sealant in Warminghurst, West Sussex
Our applicators work in Warminghurst on intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Warminghurst
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through. If you’re dealing with ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and open joints along the top of partitions, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Warminghurst, 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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Fire rated sealant in Warminghurst: local notes
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 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 Church of the Holy Sepulchre, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. For landlords with property near Pulborough station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Why act early in Warminghurst
Sealant isn’t the fix for every opening. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. If a gap isn’t suitable for sealant, we’ll tell you. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Warminghurst, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll talk you through it.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Warminghurst
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It may look fine, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
Managing a site like Ashington CofE Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Do the sealants smell?

Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.

Yes. Occupied flats, HMOs, offices and schools are all fine. Out-of-hours work can be arranged where it’s needed.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
