Fire rated sealant in Brightwell-cum-Sotwell, done properly
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. We work on door frames, flats & HMOs and linear gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and gaps left after a refit or conversion.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Brightwell-cum-Sotwell, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Brightwell-cum-Sotwell
Do you work for landlords with property near Cholsey station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Brightwell-cum-Sotwell within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Brightwell-cum-Sotwell.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, plus pictures if you have them. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
How it works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere as small as Brightwell-cum-Sotwell, access is often the only tricky part. 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.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before booking.

Fire rated sealant in Brightwell-cum-Sotwell: 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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s 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. Community buildings like Church of St James are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
