What fire rated sealant looks like in Oving
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.
Community buildings like The Parish Church of St Andrew are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. For landlords with property near Chichester station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. Managing a site like Westbourne House School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are and we leave things clean and tidy. In a small place like Oving, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Landlords, agents and businesses in Oving
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and get them seen to.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record.
Common questions in Oving
Do you work for landlords with property near Chichester station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Oving within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. We work in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other commercial buildings, including occupied ones. We agree access and the order of work with you first.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Where do you work from?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Should I try it myself first?
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Different surfaces, different methods
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We work along the whole run so there are no open sections left.
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.
