Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. We use a product tested in that kind of wall.
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Ore
Landlords, managing agents and facilities teams use us for the sealant items on a fire risk assessment for buildings in Ore. If you share the list, we can quote for the gaps that need fire-rated sealant. Typical jobs include unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and new service routes left unsealed after building work, across door frames, service penetrations and plasterboard & masonry.

Commercial buildings in Ore
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Ore, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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 landlords with property near Ore station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Christ Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Why deal with it now?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Getting them done and written up gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Homes in smaller places like Ore can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels

Questions from Ore
Do you take on hotel work around Ore?
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.
Do you cover smaller places like Ore?
Yes. Ore is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. That’s for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. It looks sealed but won’t perform as fire stopping. Use a product tested for that gap and service.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself usually takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, depending on the size of the job. Parking around Ore is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any water getting in
Getting a quote

Related advice
Common problems we fix in Ore
Much fire stopping is hidden: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
If you look after a building such as Sandown Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Are they insured?
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot and we will tell you which one you have.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is generally a straightforward job.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
