Fire rated sealant around Faberstown
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.

How we handle fire rated sealant in Faberstown
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; in a fire it expands into the joint. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. We work on pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and flats & HMOs, and common reasons people get in touch are joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and open holes round services passing through fire walls.
Work in a small place like Faberstown is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Faberstown and across Hampshire.

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the job gets bigger.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Faberstown
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Andover station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover Faberstown for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Faberstown is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What happens if it’s left?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest doesn’t make a fire seal. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, so both the product and the method matter. Around Faberstown, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every job
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels

When it is not the sealant
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Faberstown
Door frames are a common weak spot. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
Community buildings like Church of St Peter in the Wood are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
Before you book anyone
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How long the guarantee is
Different surfaces, different methods
Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We work along the whole run leaving no stretch unsealed.
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Faberstown needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
