Leave it or put it right?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. Around Hudnall Corner, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

Questions from Hudnall Corner
Is Hudnall Corner in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Hudnall Corner is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Hudnall Corner?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Hudnall Corner.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
The process
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a small place like Hudnall Corner, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property

What fire rated sealant looks like in Hudnall Corner

- What preparation is included
DIY versus a professional finish
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.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it.
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
