Fire rated sealant in Stow Maries, done properly
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. We work on linear gaps, service penetrations and pipe & cable gaps, and the jobs we see most are unsealed gaps around fire door frames and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs.
Somewhere as small as Stow Maries, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Why act early in Stow Maries
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the work involved is often modest. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Stow Maries, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins.

Stow Maries: your questions answered
Is Stow Maries within the area you cover?
Yes. Stow Maries is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near North Fambridge station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We do not certify fire stopping or quote ratings. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and giving you a record of where it went.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It looks sealed but will not perform as fire stopping. A tested fire-rated product is needed and we can apply it for you.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Stow Maries
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Parish Church of St Mary, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
