What happens if it’s left?
For some gaps, sealant isn’t the right answer and another system is needed. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. We will say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Around Anthill Common, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Fire rated sealant around Anthill Common
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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Community buildings like Church of All Saints are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Anthill Common?
Gaps also open up as buildings move: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
For landlords with property near Portchester station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Anthill Common?
Yes, Anthill Common is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Usually, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
Can I do 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.

- Working hours on commercial sites

- The type of sealant required
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

- The problem you’ve noticed

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.

The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on. Expect the work to take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, and we explain the cure time before we leave.
