Fire-rated sealant in Willian, Hertfordshire
We cover Willian for intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
Why act early in Willian
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest doesn’t make a fire seal. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. In a small place like Willian, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What you get with us
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Rated 4.9 stars on Google
- Over 20 years’ experience

How we handle fire rated sealant in Willian
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; then it swells to help close the gap. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it, so we follow the tested detail for each one. If you’re dealing with gaps left after a refit or conversion and open joints along the top of partitions, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Work in a small place like Willian is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What sealant work can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Pipe & cable gaps

- Linear gaps
Common problems we fix in Willian
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It may look fine, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
If you let a flat or house near Letchworth Garden City station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Common questions in Willian
Do you cover smaller places like Willian?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Letchworth Garden City station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes, whether the building is a school, an office, flats or an HMO, and whether it’s in use or not. Tell us how the building is used and we’ll plan around it.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.

Workplaces and buildings in Willian
Willian is part of Letchworth Garden City, one of England’s garden cities. Alongside its homes, it has offices, shops, schools and workplaces, each with washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints to keep in order. 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Lordship Farm Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Community buildings like Church of All Saints are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We measure the gap at its widest point against the product’s tested range.
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
