Rickling Green: your questions answered
I let a flat near Newport (Essex) station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Rickling Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. We record the locations we have sealed and the products used for your files.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent means it swells when heated. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Why act early in Rickling Green
For some gaps, sealant is not the right answer and another system is needed. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We’ll say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Around Rickling Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product and record where they are.
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Rickling Green
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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of Quendon, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

When it isn’t the sealant
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame

Do you need fire rated sealant in Rickling Green?
Gaps also open up as buildings move: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
Rented homes near Newport (Essex) station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
Before you book anyone
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How the colour is chosen
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere as small as Rickling Green, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
Getting a quote
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’s easy.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot and we will tell you which one you have.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
