Fire-rated sealant in Whitehawk, Brighton and Hove
Fire rated sealant for Whitehawk, by sealant specialists with 20+ years’ experience. 180+ five-star Google reviews and a 4.9 rating.
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and get them seen to.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes and the list grows.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Whitehawk
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That’s the part we focus on, one gap at a time. If you have linear gaps at the head of walls and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Community buildings, schools and small businesses around places like Whitehawk have washrooms and kitchens that see a lot of use. Their sealant and fire-rated joints are as important as those in any bigger building.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Whitehawk questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Brighton station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Whitehawk?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
What does intumescent mean?
Intumescent means it swells when heated to help seal the gap. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Whitehawk?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before we start.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. We work from the specification you give us.
The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, depending on the amount of work. In a smaller place like Whitehawk, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Why act early in Whitehawk
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Around Whitehawk, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail and we will flag it.
Linear gaps
Linear gaps run along the head of walls, at floor edges and between panels. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
