About our fire rated sealant in Chapel Row
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we follow the tested detail for each one. We are often asked to deal with open holes round services passing through fire walls and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers, across plasterboard & masonry, linear gaps and flats & HMOs.
In a village or hamlet like Chapel Row, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Fire rated sealant around Chapel Row
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.
Managing a site like Woolhampton C.E. Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. If you let a flat or house near Midgham station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
Chapel Row: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Midgham station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Chapel Row within the area you cover?
Yes, Chapel Row is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control and install to the manufacturer’s details.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
That isn’t something we state or certify. Your specification sets the requirement, and we apply a product tested for it, recording the locations and products.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Chapel Row, along with the rest of our area.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.

When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Chapel Row?
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It looks sealed, but it isn’t fire-rated.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Douai Abbey Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Why deal with it now?
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Older cottages and farmhouses around Chapel Row can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before work begins.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Chapel Row

The process
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere as small as Chapel Row, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
