What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Parking around Benson is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

How we handle fire rated sealant in Benson
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That is the part we focus on, one gap at a time. If you have unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, we can help, on plasterboard & masonry, door frames and flats & HMOs alike.
In a smaller place like Benson, commercial jobs tend to be smaller buildings: a pub, a surgery, a school, a shop or a few business units. The work is the same as in a big building, just on a smaller scale.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Why it’s worth doing now in Benson
For some gaps, sealant is not the right answer and another system is needed. 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. In a smaller place like Benson, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first.

- A 12-month guarantee on all work

Fire rated sealant around Benson
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 are given, installing the product to its tested details.
For landlords with property near Cholsey station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Helen, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Schools such as Benson Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes are not treated the same. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail and we flag any that need another system.
Linear gaps
Linear gaps run along the head of walls, at floor edges and between panels. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
Quotes for fire rated sealant in Benson
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove

- Any mould that needs treating
- The product the joint needs
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
That is not something we state or certify. Your specification sets the requirement, and we apply a product tested for it with a record of each location.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Benson?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
