About our fire rated sealant in Wix Green
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, and we can record what went where. We are often asked to deal with new service routes left unsealed after building work and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls, across service penetrations, door frames and pipe & cable gaps.
Work in a small place like Wix Green is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Surface by surface
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard for each gap size.
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified room by room.

Where is Mr Mastic based?

Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one option among several. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We do not give ratings or certificates for our work. Your specification sets the requirement, and we apply a product tested for it, recording the locations and products.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Is it messy?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, depending on how much there is to do. In a small place like Wix Green, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Wix Green and across Essex. Several sites can go on one quote, and we’re fully insured.
Landlords and letting agents in Wix Green can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Why deal with it now?
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Getting them done and written up gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. In a small place like Wix Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Why Wix Green clients choose us
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator

Workplaces and buildings in Wix Green
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Wix Green, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. 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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you let a flat or house near Wrabness station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Managing a site like Wix and Wrabness Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Community buildings like Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

What else we do in Wix Green
How we quote for fire rated sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether the work is at height
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How many areas need sealing
- The product the joint needs
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The type of property
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Whether it has been sealed before
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
