How we handle fire rated sealant in Goose Hill
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. If you have damaged fire sealant left by other trades and new service routes left unsealed after building work, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Goose Hill, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in West Berkshire.

Why act early in Goose Hill
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing when the building is next checked. Older cottages and farmhouses around Goose Hill can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

- Fully insured

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
What we can’t put right
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It will not solve:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
For landlords and businesses
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
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 fails, we can still redo it.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether the work is at height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- The address or postcode of the job
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we will come back to you with a quote.
Goose Hill questions
Will you come out to Goose Hill?
Yes. Goose Hill 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.
I let a flat near Thatcham station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we’re fully insured too.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
That isn’t something we state or certify. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we apply a product tested for it with a record of each location.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No, assessment isn’t something we do. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we will quote for the sealant work on it.

What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access in most cases. In a small place like Goose Hill, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
What fire rated sealant looks like in Goose Hill
In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Managing a site like Ashford Hill Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. For buildings such as Church of St Paul, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Rented homes near Thatcham station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
