Popley Fire Rated Sealant
Our applicators work in Popley on intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
How it works
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. For a job in Popley, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

About our fire rated sealant in Popley
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That’s the part we focus on. Typical jobs include linear gaps at the head of walls and fire stopping disturbed by later work, on pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and door frames.
Community buildings, schools and small businesses around places like Popley have washrooms and kitchens that see a lot of use. Their sealant and fire-rated joints are as important as those in any bigger building.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents and landlords in Popley can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Commercial buildings in Popley
Popley has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed. 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’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
For landlords with property near Basingstoke station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Gabriel's Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Access and height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The size of the job
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Roughly how big the job is
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The address or postcode of the job
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email pictures if that is easy.
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot, so ask us which we used.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes and the job gets bigger.
Surface by surface
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We work through the gaps on your assessment.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Popley
Do you work for landlords with property near Basingstoke station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is Popley within the area you cover?
Yes, Popley is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. The order of work and access are planned with you.

Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Honest limits
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
What we seal
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Popley
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Bede's Catholic Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
