- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record so you can show it was dealt with.
Fire rated sealant in Little Hoddington, done properly
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap is not a fire-rated seal. We cut out the wrong material and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. We work on pipe & cable gaps, flats & HMOs and plasterboard & masonry, and the jobs we see most are standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and open gaps behind door architraves.
Work in a small place like Little Hoddington is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

How it works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. The work usually takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a small place like Little Hoddington, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Leave it or put it right?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that does not follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Little Hoddington, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

FAQs for Little Hoddington
I let a flat near Hook station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Little Hoddington within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. It looks sealed but will not perform as fire stopping. Use a product tested for that gap and service and we can apply it for you.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Common problems we fix in Little Hoddington
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it is not installed as tested. Rushed fire stopping is common, especially where it was squeezed in at the end of a project.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
Community buildings like Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
