How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own and needn’t wait for anything else. Older cottages and farmhouses around Nutbourne can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Questions from Nutbourne
Do you work for landlords with property near Pulborough station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you cover smaller places like Nutbourne?
Yes, Nutbourne is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It looks sealed but will not perform as fire stopping. Use a product tested for that gap and service and we can apply it for you.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Every job comes with a one-year guarantee.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We measure the gap at its widest point to make sure it suits the product.
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth with backing where the detail needs it.
When to call us in Nutbourne
Gaps also open up as buildings move: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Open gaps behind door architraves
For buildings such as St Mary's Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Commercial buildings in Nutbourne
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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Rented homes near Pulborough station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. If you look after a building such as West Chiltington Community Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
