About our fire rated sealant in Lower Titmore Green
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping is not our role; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. Typical jobs include damaged fire sealant left by other trades and open joints along the top of partitions, across linear gaps, service penetrations and pipe & cable gaps.
Work in a small place like Lower Titmore Green is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Why it’s worth doing now in Lower Titmore Green
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Lower Titmore Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Why book with us
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- We never seal over old sealant
- More than 20 years in sealant work
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
FAQs for Lower Titmore Green
Will you come out to Lower Titmore Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Stevenage 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 will give you a clear price.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product fitted to the maker’s details.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we’re fully insured too.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether the work is at height
- Any mould that needs treating
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Common problems we fix in Lower Titmore Green
Door frames are a common weak spot. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
