Workplaces and buildings in East Chiltington
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.
If you look after a building such as Plumpton Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. For buildings such as The Parish Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

About our fire rated sealant in East Chiltington
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping isn’t our role; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. We work on linear gaps, door frames and pipe & cable gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are old fire sealant that has split or come away and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap.
In a village or hamlet like East Chiltington, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Any mould that needs treating
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- When we can work, for business premises
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
Common questions in East Chiltington
Is East Chiltington within the area you cover?
Yes. East Chiltington is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Plumpton station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in East Chiltington?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used so it’s there for the next inspection.
What does intumescent mean?
Intumescent means it swells when heated to help seal the gap. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, with photos by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Different surfaces, different methods
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We seal them along their full length so there are no open sections left.
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes aren’t treated the same. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail.
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own. In a small place like East Chiltington, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

The process
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere as small as East Chiltington, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
Getting a quote
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details.

What else we do in East Chiltington
What we’re called out for in East Chiltington
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service isn’t always sealed again.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Open gaps behind door architraves
Letting a property close to Plumpton station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
