How we handle fire rated sealant in East Hendred
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk doesn’t make it fire-rated. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. We work on service penetrations, plasterboard & masonry and linear gaps, and the jobs we see most are joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and open joints along the top of partitions.
For a small place like East Hendred, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Workplaces and buildings in East Hendred
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Schools such as The Hendreds Church of England School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. If you let a flat or house near Didcot Parkway station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Other services in East Hendred
Do you need fire rated sealant in East Hendred?
Over time, buildings change layout and use. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
Community buildings like Church of St Augustine of Canterbury are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Common questions in East Hendred
Do you cover smaller places like East Hendred?
Yes. East Hendred 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.
Is East Hendred in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, East Hendred is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The product the joint needs
- How much there is to do
- How easy the joints are to reach
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- The type of property
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
To get a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. You’ll have a clear quote before we start.
What sealant work cannot fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work in East Hendred
- Plasterboard & masonry

Why it’s worth doing now in East Hendred
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Around East Hendred, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
Why choose Mr Mastic in East Hendred
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Full insurance on every job
- Every job guaranteed for a year

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the job gets bigger.
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
