About our fire rated sealant in Caversham Park Village
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That’s the part we focus on, gap by gap. If you’re dealing with gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, we can put it right, on pipe & cable gaps, linear gaps and service penetrations alike.
Commercial work around a smaller place like Caversham Park Village normally means a pub, a shop, a school or small business units rather than office blocks. Each needs the same care with its sealant as any larger building.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Caversham Park Village as everywhere else we work.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot, so ask us which we used.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the list grows.
Different surfaces, different methods
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size.
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We work through the gaps on your assessment.
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. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Parking around Caversham Park Village 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.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

What else we do in Caversham Park Village
How we quote for fire rated sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The number and length of the joints
- The type of sealant required
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Any mould that needs treating
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- The address or postcode of the job
There’s no standard price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
What happens if it’s left?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. On its own, sealing it now is a small job that does not depend on other work. Around Caversham Park Village, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Fire rated sealant in Caversham Park Village: local notes
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.
Letting a property close to Reading station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Community buildings like All Saints Church are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Caversham Park Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Common questions in Caversham Park Village
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Reading station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you cover smaller places like Caversham Park Village?
Yes. Caversham Park Village is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant, and the choice depends on the gap.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
When something else is needed
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It will not solve:
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
