- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
When to call us in Little End
Door frames are a common weak spot. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
Community buildings like Church of St Margaret of Antioch are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How hidden problems are handled
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether they’re fully insured
Fire rated sealant in Little End, done properly
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor on buildings across Little End. If you share the list, we can quote for the gaps that need fire-rated sealant. Typical jobs include new service routes left unsealed after building work and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed, on pipe & cable gaps, flats & HMOs and service penetrations.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Little End, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.

Common questions in Little End
Do you cover smaller places like Little End?
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.
What guarantee comes with fire rated sealant in Little End?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
What does intumescent mean?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot, helping close the gap. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. Occupied flats, HMOs, offices and schools are all fine, with access planned around residents or staff. Early starts or out-of-hours work can be arranged where it’s needed.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We do not give ratings or certificates for our work. Your specification sets the requirement, and we apply a product tested for it.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.

What else we do in Little End
When it is not the sealant
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Door frames

Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere as small as Little End, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Clear the area around the work
