Common questions in New Marston
Will you come out to New Marston?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you take on hotel work around New Marston?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Is intumescent sealant the same as 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 do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in New Marston?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we’re fully insured too.
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 can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
Fire rated sealant in New Marston, done properly
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. We work on pipe & cable gaps, flats & HMOs and service penetrations, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment.
In a smaller place like New Marston, 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.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Fire rated sealant in New Marston: local notes
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. New Marston has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.
Managing a site like St Michael's CofE Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Letting a property close to Oxford station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. A visit to New Marston is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions

When to call us in New Marston
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It may look fine, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
For buildings such as Saint Michael and All Angels, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
Questions to ask before you book
- What product goes in the joint
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How the colour is chosen
- Are they insured?
Why deal with it now?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job and needn’t wait for anything else. In an older home around New Marston, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Why New Marston customers choose us
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- We never seal over old sealant
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
