Fire rated sealant in Middlegreen, done properly
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping isn’t our role; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. We work on door frames, plasterboard & masonry and flats & HMOs, and the jobs we see most are cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey.
In a village or hamlet like Middlegreen, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

When something else is needed
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Middlegreen
Do you cover smaller places like Middlegreen?
Yes. Middlegreen is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Langley station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Middlegreen and the rest of Slough, along with the rest of our area.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant, and the choice depends on the gap.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. We will tell you when we quote.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Why it’s worth doing now in Middlegreen
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, and we work to the product details every time. In a small place like Middlegreen, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. For a village or hamlet like Middlegreen, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Advice
Commercial buildings in Middlegreen
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For buildings such as St Mary the Virgin Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. If you look after a building such as The Langley Academy Primary, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

When to call us in Middlegreen
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
Letting a property close to Langley station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Do not 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. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.

How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the seal has something sound to bond to.
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
