Common questions in Broughton
I let a flat near Banbury station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Broughton?
Yes, Broughton is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam is not tested as fire stopping. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
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 do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Broughton.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Broughton
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, and we can record what went where. If you’re dealing with unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, we can help, on plasterboard & masonry, linear gaps and flats & HMOs alike.
Work in a small place like Broughton is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
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. Have it sealed, then keep the record so you can show it was dealt with.
What else we do in Broughton
Workplaces and buildings in Broughton
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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bishop Carpenter Church of England Aided Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. For landlords with property near Banbury station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
Broughton is about 2 miles south-west of Banbury, in Oxfordshire. From the centre of Broughton to the outskirts, fire rated sealant is available for homes and businesses alike, from flats and houses to offices and hotels. Broughton is one of 443 places in Oxfordshire we cover. There’s also a page for Oxford, about 21 miles away.
Here we cover the OX15 postcode area for fire rated sealant. That includes homes and businesses on Danvers Close, Danvers Road and Wykham Lane and the roads around them. Close by, we work in North Newington (1 mile north), Neithrop (2 miles north-east), Ruscote (2 miles north-east), Bloxham (2 miles south) and Drayton (2 miles north).

How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere as small as Broughton, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any tricky access

Do you need fire rated sealant in Broughton?
Door frames are a common weak spot. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
For buildings such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Who turns up on the day
- Is the old sealant removed completely?

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Why it’s worth doing now in Broughton
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing once someone inspects it. Older cottages and farmhouses around Broughton can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first.
