About our fire rated sealant in Curbridge
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor. If you share the list, we can quote for the gaps that need fire-rated sealant. We work on door frames, linear gaps and service penetrations, and common reasons people get in touch are unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment.
Community buildings, schools and small businesses around places like Curbridge have washrooms and kitchens that see a lot of use. Sealant and fire-rated joints there matter as much as in any larger building.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Fire rated sealant in Curbridge: 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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
In and around Curbridge, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, including the tidy-up. For a job in Curbridge, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
Ask for a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.
Advice
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any mould that needs treating
- How easy the joints are to reach
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If someone has resealed it before
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Curbridge: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Curbridge?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Botley station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot to help seal the gap. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We do not give ratings or certificates for our work. Your specification sets the requirement, and we apply a product tested for it with a record of each location.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
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.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No, assessment is not something we do. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we are fully insured too.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Curbridge
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Open gaps behind door architraves
For landlords with property near Botley station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
What to look for in a quote
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How the colour is chosen
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if the job turns out different
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We work along the whole run.
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. The gap is cleaned and backed where required before the sealant goes in.
