Carlton Hill questions
Do you take on hotel work around Carlton Hill?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Do you cover smaller places like Carlton Hill?
Yes. Carlton Hill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself and we will tell you if we spot problems with the door.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Carlton Hill
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 flats & HMOs, linear gaps and plasterboard & masonry, and common reasons people get in touch are standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and new service routes left unsealed after building work.
Commercial work around a smaller place like Carlton Hill usually means a pub, a shop, a school or small business units rather than office blocks. The work is the same as in a big building, just on a smaller scale.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Carlton Hill as everywhere else we work.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Carlton Hill?
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
Managing a site like Carlton Hill Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first

Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both, following the tested detail.

How it works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access for a typical job. In a smaller place like Carlton Hill, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- 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.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Why deal with it now?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. In a smaller place like Carlton Hill, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What you get with us
- Tidy, careful work
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Every job guaranteed for a year

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.
