- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
What we do, step by step
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building in most cases. Somewhere as small as Purleigh, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- 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 any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
How to get a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will come back to you with a quote.

Why act early in Purleigh
Sealant isn’t the fix for every opening. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. If a gap is not suitable for sealant, we will tell you. Around Purleigh, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Purleigh questions
Do you cover smaller places like Purleigh?
Yes, Purleigh is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near North Fambridge station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We don’t certify fire stopping or quote ratings. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and list the locations and products for you.
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. We agree access and the order of work with you first.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it will not last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The amount of work
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If someone has resealed it before
- Where the property is
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that’s easy.
When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Do not drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.
Commercial buildings in Purleigh
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Purleigh, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. 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.
Letting a property close to North Fambridge station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Parish Church of All Saints, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Schools such as Purleigh Community Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
