About our fire rated sealant in Ibstone
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. If you are dealing with sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and gaps left after a refit or conversion, we can help, on linear gaps, flats & HMOs and service penetrations alike.
In a village or hamlet like Ibstone, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach and we will flag it.
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is normally a straightforward job.
Ibstone questions
I let a flat near Saunderton station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is Ibstone within the area you cover?
Yes, Ibstone is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control, and apply each product to its tested details.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
What fire rating will the seal have?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and giving you a record of where it went.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. We work in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other commercial buildings, including occupied ones. The order of work and access are planned with you.
Leave it or put it right?
Sealant isn’t the fix for every opening. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We will say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Ibstone, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Ibstone
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels

How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, depending on how much there is to do. Somewhere as small as Ibstone, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- 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
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
Getting a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Ibstone
Much fire stopping is hidden: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
Schools such as Ibstone CofE Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Ibstone
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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you let a flat or house near Saunderton station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Nicholas, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
