The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere like Shalford needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Fire rated sealant in Shalford
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor. Send us the list or the survey and we’ll quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. We work on service penetrations, pipe & cable gaps and plasterboard & masonry, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps left after a refit or conversion and open gaps behind door architraves.
In a village or hamlet like Shalford, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Shalford
Will you come out to Shalford?
Yes. Shalford 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 cover Shalford for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Shalford is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
What does intumescent mean?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No, assessment isn’t something we do. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. Occupied flats, HMOs, offices and schools are all fine, with access planned around residents or staff. Out-of-hours work can be arranged if that suits the building.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.

When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Fire rated sealant around Shalford
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Schools such as Shalford Infant School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. For buildings such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Letting a property close to Shalford station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Why act early in Shalford
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 sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. In a small place like Shalford, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
