Fire Rated Sealant in Sprig's Alley
We cover Sprig's Alley for intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and a one-year guarantee.

Fire rated sealant in Sprig's Alley
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. If you have ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Sprig's Alley is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Fire rated sealant around Sprig's Alley
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’re given, installing the product to its tested details.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Sprig's Alley
Do you work for landlords with property near Saunderton station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Sprig's Alley?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Sprig's Alley is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We will explain which colours are available.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, large or small.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Sprig's Alley and the rest of Oxfordshire, along with the rest of our area.
When it is not the sealant
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere as small as Sprig's Alley, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that is not 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.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Sprig's Alley
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. Older cottages and farmhouses around Sprig's Alley can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Landlord and commercial work in Sprig's Alley
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Sprig's Alley?
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it is not installed as tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried particularly when it was the last job before handover.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
In and around Sprig's Alley, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- What insurance they hold
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What product goes in the joint
What the job involves on each surface
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth over any backing the detail calls for.
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard for the gap we’re sealing.
