How we handle fire rated sealant in Westgate-on-Sea
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping is not our role; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. If you have open gaps behind door architraves and fire seals that have cracked with movement, we can help.

Common questions in Westgate-on-Sea
I let a flat near Westgate-On-Sea station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you cover smaller places like Westgate-on-Sea?
Yes, Westgate-on-Sea is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. Occupied flats, HMOs, offices and schools are all fine, with access planned around residents or staff. Out-of-hours work can be arranged where it’s needed.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.

Why deal with it now?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. Homes in smaller places like Westgate-on-Sea can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

When it is not the sealant
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Advice
Common problems we fix in Westgate-on-Sea
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
People normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
If you let a flat or house near Westgate-On-Sea station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Westgate-on-Sea
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Westgate-on-Sea, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. 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 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 St Saviour, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Schools such as St Saviour's Church of England Junior School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
