Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Fire rated sealant in Faringdon, done properly
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That’s the part we focus on, one gap at a time. We work on pipe & cable gaps, linear gaps and door frames, and people most often call us about door frames with gaps between frame and wall and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment.
Around a place like Faringdon, halls, schools and small businesses all have washrooms and kitchens used by many people. Their sealant and fire-rated joints are as important as those in any bigger building.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

Faringdon questions
Can you do fire rated sealant in Faringdon?
Yes, Faringdon is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Will you come out to Faringdon?
Yes, Faringdon is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you’ll get one quote.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes and the job gets bigger.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Faringdon?
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Faringdon Community College, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
Before booking anyone
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Are they insured?
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Why deal with it now?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job and needn’t wait for anything else. In an older home around Faringdon, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
Why us?
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas

What affects the quote in Faringdon
We do not publish a price list. What we look at:
- How many areas need sealing
- How much there is to do
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The address or postcode of the job
Need a quote? Please call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details. We will explain what we’d do and send you a clear quote before any work starts.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building for a typical job. A visit to Faringdon is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Move anything stored near the joints

Fire rated sealant around Faringdon
Faringdon has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed. 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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
For buildings such as Church of All Saints, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
