DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, and the area is left clean. For a job in South Merstham, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Your questions about fire rated sealant in South Merstham
Can you do fire rated sealant in South Merstham?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and South Merstham is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Merstham station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant following the tested details. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before work begins.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and get them seen to.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
Different surfaces, different methods
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both.
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before we start to keep disruption down.
Fire rated sealant around South Merstham
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, 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.
Schools such as Merstham Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. For landlords with property near Merstham station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. Community buildings like All Saints' are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
