Woodley Fire Rated Sealant
We cover Woodley for intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
When something else is needed
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Fire rated sealant in Woodley
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping isn’t our role; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. We work on pipe & cable gaps, door frames and plasterboard & masonry, and the jobs we see most are sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and unsealed gaps around fire door frames.
Commercial jobs in a town like Woodley range from shops and offices to schools and small business units. All of them have washroom and kitchen joints, and many have fire-rated joints around pipes and cables.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Woodley
Much fire stopping is hidden: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
If you look after a building such as Rivermead Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Fire rated sealant around Woodley
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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as United Reformed Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.

Why deal with it now?
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Gaps in sealant and mould in the bead never get better on their own, and in a busy household in Woodley they spread with every shower and every downpour. Now is the easy time to put it right.
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Is fire rated sealant in Woodley guaranteed?
All our work, in Woodley and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. If you need photos or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded.
