Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded.
About our fire rated sealant in Fankerton
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; in a fire it expands into the joint. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it, so we follow the tested detail for each one. If you are dealing with seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and open holes round services passing through fire walls, we can put it right, on linear gaps, flats & HMOs and door frames alike.
Work in a place like Fankerton is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Why it’s worth doing now in Fankerton
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the work involved is often modest. Around Fankerton, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why us?
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Full insurance on every job
- Homes, businesses and hotels

When it is not the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
