Sayers Common questions
Will you come out to Sayers Common?
Yes. Sayers Common is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Hassocks station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We do not certify fire stopping or quote ratings. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and list the locations and products for you.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself, and we’ll mention anything we notice about the door.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. Occupied flats, HMOs, offices and schools are all fine. Early starts or out-of-hours work can be arranged where it’s needed.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Usually, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we will agree it with you first.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we are fully insured.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent means it swells when heated to help seal the gap. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
About our fire rated sealant in Sayers Common
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 detail is what we take care over, gap by gap. We are often asked to deal with fire seals that have cracked with movement and linear gaps at the head of walls, across plasterboard & masonry, pipe & cable gaps and service penetrations.
In a village or hamlet like Sayers Common, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Advice
Workplaces and buildings in Sayers Common
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.
Community buildings like Christ Church are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. For landlords with property near Hassocks station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

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.
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both from the manufacturer’s details.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Sayers Common
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
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.
What happens if it’s left?
Sealant isn’t the fix for every opening. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. We will say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Around Sayers Common, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

When to call us in Sayers Common
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
If you look after a building such as Albourne CofE Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
