For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Abbotswood, several properties can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Abbotswood
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. Common call-outs are for door frames with gaps between frame and wall and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap, across service penetrations, pipe & cable gaps and door frames.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Abbotswood, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Abbotswood
I let a flat near Romsey station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you work in hotels near Abbotswood?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Abbotswood, along with the rest of our area.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere like Abbotswood needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- 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

- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Commercial buildings in Abbotswood
Abbotswood has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on. 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, 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.
Letting a property close to Romsey station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Cupernham Infant School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

What affects the quote in Abbotswood
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Access and height
- The size of the job
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add photos by email if you can.
What we’re called out for in Abbotswood
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Swithun's Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
What your quote should include
- How the colour is chosen
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Are they insured?
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some can’t, so ask us which we used.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
Why deal with it now?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. Work that does not follow the tested detail may have to come out again when the building is next checked. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Abbotswood, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
