How we handle fire rated sealant in Gubbion's Green
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk does not make it fire-rated. We cut out the wrong material and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. Common call-outs are for open holes round services passing through fire walls and open joints along the top of partitions, on pipe & cable gaps, plasterboard & masonry and door frames.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Gubbion's Green, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Why act early in Gubbion's Green
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Getting them done and written up means you can show the action was taken. Around Gubbion's Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will talk you through it.

Gubbion's Green questions
Will you come out to Gubbion's Green?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords with property near Cressing station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. We record the locations we have sealed and the products used.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. We work in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other commercial buildings, including occupied ones. We agree access and the order of work with you first.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
When it isn’t the sealant
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Gubbion's Green, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention any tricky access
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. 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.
