About our fire rated sealant in Maidenbower
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, with each location and product recorded. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. We work on linear gaps, flats & HMOs and service penetrations, and the jobs we see most are unsealed gaps around fire door frames and gaps left after a refit or conversion.
In a smaller place like Maidenbower, commercial jobs tend to be smaller buildings: a pub, a surgery, a school, a shop or a few business units. The work is the same as in a big building, just on a smaller scale.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail.
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details before the trim goes back.
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Why deal with it now?
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Around Maidenbower, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

Fire rated sealant around Maidenbower
Crawley, which Maidenbower is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. Crawley was planned with its own industrial and business areas, so workplaces sit close to the homes. Their washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints need the same upkeep as anywhere. 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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Letting a property close to Three Bridges station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Nicholas' Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Maidenbower questions
Is Maidenbower within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Maidenbower?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Maidenbower is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, large or small.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it will not last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. The order of work and access are planned with you.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No, assessment isn’t something we do. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we will quote for the sealant work on it.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a job in Maidenbower, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention any tricky access

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record so the item can be closed.
What we’re called out for in Maidenbower
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Holes left by a change of layout
If you look after a building such as Brook Infant School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
