About our fire rated sealant in Fiddlers Hamlet
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; 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. If you are dealing with open gaps behind door architraves and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, we can put it right, on flats & HMOs, linear gaps and service penetrations alike.
Work in a small place like Fiddlers Hamlet is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Fiddlers Hamlet
Can you do fire rated sealant in Fiddlers Hamlet?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Fiddlers Hamlet is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Do you take on hotel work around Fiddlers Hamlet?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The product needed can limit the range.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Fiddlers Hamlet, along with the rest of our area.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we are fully insured too.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
Why act early in Fiddlers Hamlet
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing once someone inspects it. In a small place like Fiddlers Hamlet, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Door frames
Workplaces and buildings in Fiddlers Hamlet
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. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Fiddlers Hamlet. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.
If you look after a building such as Ivy Chimneys Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. The gap is cleaned of dust first.
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each.
Common problems we fix in Fiddlers Hamlet
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It may look fine, but it is not a fire-rated seal.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
Community buildings like Saint Alban's Church are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
Questions to ask before booking
- Are they insured?
- What preparation is included
- How the colour is chosen
- Whether VAT is included
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
