Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Hinksey Hill
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk does not make it fire-rated. Anything unsuitable comes out first and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. If you have seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Hinksey Hill is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Fire rated sealant around Hinksey Hill
Hinksey Hill has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed. 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, 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.
If you look after a building such as New Hinksey Church of England Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Lawrence, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

What affects the quote in Hinksey Hill
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The amount of work
- The product the joint needs
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Where the property is
- If someone has resealed it before
- A few photos by email, if you can
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved and give you a clear price.
Why act early in Hinksey Hill
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. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Hinksey Hill, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Hinksey Hill

What we can’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Questions from Hinksey Hill
Will you come out to Hinksey Hill?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Oxford station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. The order of work and access are planned with you.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We don’t issue ratings or certificates ourselves. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer; we install to those details and record what we did.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No, assessment is not something we do. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it is not a fire-rated seal. A tested fire-rated product is needed.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
How long will you be here?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. We will tell you when we quote.

Related advice
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Hinksey Hill
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
If you let a flat or house near Oxford station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
