Different surfaces, different methods
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist, and we will say if we spot a problem with them.
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We check the gap size around the service against the product’s tested range.
About our fire rated sealant in Puddledock
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap is not a fire-rated seal. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. If you’re dealing with cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated, we can put it right, on flats & HMOs, door frames and plasterboard & masonry alike.
London blocks of flats carry pipes and cables through walls and floors in their common parts and service risers. In Puddledock, building managers may need both fire-rated sealant around those openings and new sealant in shared washrooms.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Landlord and commercial work in Puddledock
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
If you manage several properties in or around Puddledock, several properties can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
Why deal with it now?
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the work involved is often modest. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and once it shows in Puddledock, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Puddledock
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Neat joints and a tidy finish

Common questions in Puddledock
Do you cover Puddledock for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Puddledock is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Puddledock?
Parking in Puddledock, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam is not tested as fire stopping. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a London area like Puddledock, the main things to plan are parking and access: let us know about parking, the floor we will be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Puddledock
Many London buildings have tight access and loading restrictions, and out-of-hours working is possible to arrange. Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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.
Puddledock is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. For buildings such as Holy Trinity Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

When to call us in Puddledock
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
If you let a flat or house near Edenbridge station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
Questions to ask before you book
