What else we do in Aldermaston Soke
Leave it or put it right?
Sealant is not the fix for every opening. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We will say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Aldermaston Soke, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Aldermaston Soke

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint and we’ll tell you which one you have.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Aldermaston Soke questions
Is Aldermaston Soke within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Aldermaston station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The product needed can limit the range.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used to keep with your fire safety documents.
What does intumescent mean?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, wherever you are.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
What happens on the day
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 work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Aldermaston Soke, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- 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.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Advice
When something else is needed
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Fire rated sealant around Aldermaston Soke
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For buildings such as Saint Luke's Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Managing a site like Silchester Church of England Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
