Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
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.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Fire rated sealant in High Cogges
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. We are often asked to deal with fire seals that have cracked with movement and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed, on service penetrations, pipe & cable gaps and door frames.
Somewhere as small as High Cogges, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before any work starts to keep disruption down.
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes aren’t treated the same. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each, and tell you if sealant alone isn’t the right fix.
How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a small place like High Cogges, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Fire rated sealant around High Cogges
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details. High Cogges has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.
Community buildings like Church of St James are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. For landlords with property near Combe station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. If you look after a building such as The Blake Church of England Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Why it’s worth doing now in High Cogges
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own that does not depend on other work. In a small place like High Cogges, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

FAQs for High Cogges
I let a flat near Combe station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you work in hotels near High Cogges?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. We cover High Cogges and the rest of Oxfordshire.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
Ratings and certificates are not something we issue. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we are fully insured.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
A typical job takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, including the preparation. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Should I try it myself first?
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.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
