How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In a small place like Argos Hill, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice
About our fire rated sealant in Argos Hill
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That detail is what we take care over. We work on linear gaps, service penetrations and door frames, and people most often call us about gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall.
Somewhere as small as Argos Hill, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Fire rated sealant in Argos Hill: local notes
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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Community buildings like The Parish Church of St Denys are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. If you look after a building such as Rotherfield Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

FAQs for Argos Hill
Do you cover smaller places like Argos Hill?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Crowborough station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in so it’s there for the next inspection.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Usually, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Argos Hill and the rest of East Sussex, along with the rest of our area.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product fitted to the maker’s details.
Leave it or put it right?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Argos Hill, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start.

What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- The rough size of the job

When to call us in Argos Hill
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Holes left by a change of layout
For landlords with property near Crowborough station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
What your quote should include
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are

What the job involves on each surface
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes aren’t treated the same. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each, and tell you if sealant alone isn’t the right fix.
Linear gaps
Linear gaps run along the head of walls, at floor edges and between panels. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
