Common questions in Shipley
Is Shipley in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Shipley is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Shipley?
Yes, Shipley is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Shipley and the rest of West Sussex.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What sealant 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, and we will tell you what we are using.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before work begins.
Fire rated sealant in Shipley, done properly
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, and we can record what went where. Common call-outs are for gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, across pipe & cable gaps, linear gaps and flats & HMOs.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Shipley, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When it is not the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Service penetrations
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
When to call us in Shipley
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It looks sealed, but it is not fire-rated.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as The Church of St Mary the Virgin, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- The length of the guarantee
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
Conversions usually leave a mix of old and new service holes. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product and record where they are.
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
Why it’s worth doing now in Shipley
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Shipley, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Commercial buildings in Shipley
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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Rented homes near Billingshurst station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Managing a site like Shipley CofE Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

What affects the quote in Shipley
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Any working-time requirements on site
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that’s easy.
The process
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access for a typical job. Somewhere as small as Shipley, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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 for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
