Why deal with it now?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Aythorpe Roding, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Aythorpe Roding?
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust will not perform as it was tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
Schools such as Rodings Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Fire rated sealant around Aythorpe Roding
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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Parish Church of St Mary, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Do not drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is normally a straightforward job.
Aythorpe Roding questions
Can you do fire rated sealant in Aythorpe Roding?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Aythorpe Roding is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Aythorpe Roding?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, including preparation and clearing up. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used so it’s there for the next inspection.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one option among several. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Normally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we will agree it with you first.
Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We work through the gaps on your assessment.
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist and we will mention anything we notice.
How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a small place like Aythorpe Roding, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Move anything stored near the joints
