Fire-rated sealant in Navestock Common, Essex
Fire-stopping gaps in Navestock Common need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, including the tidy-up. Somewhere like Navestock Common needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Questions from Navestock Common
Do you cover smaller places like Navestock Common?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Harold Wood station. Can you help?
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’ll give you a clear price.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we will agree it with you first.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, plus pictures if you have them. If we need more, we will ask.

Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
What happens if it’s left?
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Getting them done and written up means you can show the action was taken. Older cottages and farmhouses around Navestock Common can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
