About our fire rated sealant in Stubbles
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. Common call-outs are for holes left by a change of layout and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, on service penetrations, linear gaps and door frames.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Stubbles, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Different surfaces, different methods
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.
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We seal them along their full length so there are no open sections left.

Stubbles questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Goring & Streatley station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Stubbles?
Yes, Stubbles is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. We regularly work in flats, HMOs, schools and offices while they’re in use. Out-of-hours work can be arranged if that suits the building.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Stubbles and the rest of Oxfordshire.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a village or hamlet like Stubbles, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Related advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record so the item can be closed.
Fire rated sealant in Stubbles: local notes
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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Clement, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. For landlords with property near Goring & Streatley station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

What happens if it’s left?
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. How it’s installed changes how it performs, and we work to the product details every time. Older cottages and farmhouses around Stubbles can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

What we cannot put right
We won’t take on 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
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
