Fire rated sealant in Woodend, done properly
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; in a fire it expands into the joint. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through. If you’re dealing with ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, we can put it right, on door frames, plasterboard & masonry and pipe & cable gaps alike.
For holiday lets, guest houses and community buildings in or near Woodend, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

How it works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are for a typical job. For a place like Woodend, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.

Advice
Surface by surface
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement, following the tested detail.
Door frames
Frame gaps are normally hidden behind the architrave. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size.
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record so the item can be closed.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Woodend
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How many areas need sealing
- Working hours on commercial sites
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The problem you’ve noticed
- How we’d reach the joints
