About our fire rated sealant in Crockham Heath
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor on buildings across Crockham Heath. Send us the list or the survey and we’ll quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. Common call-outs are for cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment, across service penetrations, plasterboard & masonry and pipe & cable gaps.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Crockham Heath, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Fire rated sealant around Crockham Heath
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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Parish Church of St Michael, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Rented homes near Newbury station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Managing a site like Enborne C.E. Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

What else we do in Crockham Heath
How the visit works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a small place like Crockham Heath, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- 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
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Advice
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The product the joint needs
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Whether it’s a home or a business

Crockham Heath: your questions answered
Is Crockham Heath within the area you cover?

Are you an approved applicator?

Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. The order of work and access are planned with you.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Crockham Heath and the rest of West Berkshire, along with the rest of our area.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Why act early in Crockham Heath
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. How it’s installed changes how it performs, and we work to the product details every time. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Crockham Heath, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will talk you through it.

How the job changes by surface
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist and we will mention anything we notice.
When it is not the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It will not solve:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
