Fire rated sealant in West Stourmouth
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping is not our role; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. Common call-outs are for open holes round services passing through fire walls and gaps left after a refit or conversion, on door frames, flats & HMOs and pipe & cable gaps.
For a small place like West Stourmouth, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Advice
What we can’t put right
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Fire rated sealant in West Stourmouth: local notes
In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
For buildings such as All Saints Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. If you let a flat or house near Minster station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. If you look after a building such as Preston Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

What the job involves on each surface

Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it.

West Stourmouth questions
Is West Stourmouth in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, West Stourmouth is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like West Stourmouth?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in West Stourmouth?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Standard sealants aren’t made or tested to stop fire. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is usually a straightforward job.
Why it’s worth doing now in West Stourmouth
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. Older cottages and farmhouses around West Stourmouth can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
