Rush Green: your questions answered
Do you work in hotels near Rush Green?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Is Rush Green within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
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 giving you a record of where it went.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Rush Green?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before work begins.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. It looks sealed but will not perform as fire stopping. Use a product tested for that gap and service and we can apply it for you.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used to keep with your fire safety documents.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Rush Green
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. We work on pipe & cable gaps, flats & HMOs and door frames, and people most often call us about gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and linear gaps at the head of walls.
Commercial work around a smaller place like Rush Green usually means a pub, a shop, a school or small business units rather than office blocks. Each needs the same care with its sealant as any larger building.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Rush Green and across Essex.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Workplaces and buildings in Rush Green
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Rush Green, 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. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Rush Green. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.
Letting a property close to Clacton-On-Sea station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. For buildings such as Church of St James, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Schools such as Ravens Academy are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Leave it or put it right?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. Around Rush Green, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Different surfaces, different methods
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist and we’ll mention anything we notice.
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, depending on the amount of work. For a job in Rush Green, 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 and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
