Fire-rated sealant in Cuddesdon, Oxfordshire
Our applicators work in Cuddesdon on intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and a one-year guarantee.
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Cuddesdon
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor for buildings in Cuddesdon. Send us the list or the survey and we will quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. If you have cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey, we can put it right, on service penetrations, linear gaps and door frames alike.
Work in a small place like Cuddesdon is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It usually takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere like Cuddesdon needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap 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.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any tricky access
Getting a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that’s easy.
Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Cuddesdon
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Older cottages and farmhouses around Cuddesdon can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

- We leave the area clean and tidy

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Cuddesdon
Is Cuddesdon within the area you cover?
Yes. Cuddesdon 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.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Cuddesdon?
Yes, Cuddesdon is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we’re fully insured too.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Cuddesdon.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
When to call us in Cuddesdon
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
Community buildings like Church of All Saints are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Workplaces and buildings in Cuddesdon

Schools such as Garsington Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

What sealant work cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
