Fire rated sealant in Newtimber
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap. We work on pipe & cable gaps, linear gaps and door frames, and the jobs we see most are open holes round services passing through fire walls and old fire sealant that has split or come away.
In a village or hamlet like Newtimber, 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.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What affects the quote in Newtimber
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The old material and how stubborn it is

- The amount of work
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.

FAQs for Newtimber
Is Newtimber in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Newtimber is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Newtimber?
Yes, Newtimber is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. We will tell you when we quote.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No, we do not assess buildings. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Newtimber
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 The Parish Church of St John Evangelist, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. For landlords with property near Hassocks station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

What’s near Newtimber

Why act early in Newtimber
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the work involved is often modest. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Newtimber, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before we start.

- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
