Debden questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Newport (Essex) station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Debden?
Yes. Debden 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.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Debden and the rest of Essex.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
Fire rated sealant in Debden
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap isn’t a fire-rated seal. We cut out the wrong material and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. We work on plasterboard & masonry, door frames and pipe & cable gaps, and people most often call us about gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and fire stopping disturbed by later work.
Somewhere as small as Debden, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Debden and everywhere else we cover.

Surface by surface
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the list grows.
What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere like Debden 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.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

What affects the quote in Debden
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The number and length of the joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Working hours on commercial sites
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- The type of property
- If someone has resealed it before
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job.

Why act early in Debden
A quick fill with any sealant to hand isn’t fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. Older cottages and farmhouses around Debden can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

When to call us in Debden
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
Schools such as Joyce Frankland Academy are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
