Fire rated sealant in West Blatchington
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. If you have gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls, we can help.
Commercial work around a smaller place like West Blatchington usually means a pub, a shop, a school or small business units rather than office blocks. The work is the same as in a big building, just on a smaller scale.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint and we’ll tell you which one you have.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes.
What affects the quote in West Blatchington
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Access and height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The size of the job
- The product the joint needs
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- The rough size of the job
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Where the property is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work and give you a clear quote.
West Blatchington questions
I let a flat near Aldrington station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you take on hotel work around West Blatchington?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do you come to West Blatchington?
Yes. From our base in Crawley, we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What happens if it’s left?
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. In an older home around West Blatchington, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.
Why choose Mr Mastic in West Blatchington
- 12-month guarantee on every job
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
