About our fire rated sealant in Studdal
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; in a fire it expands into the joint. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it. We are often asked to deal with standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, across service penetrations, flats & HMOs and door frames.
Somewhere as small as Studdal, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What affects the quote in Studdal
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The type of sealant required
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The size of the job
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If someone has resealed it before
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

Common questions in Studdal
Can you do fire rated sealant in Studdal?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Studdal is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Martin Mill station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. Occupied flats, HMOs, offices and schools are all fine, with access planned around residents or staff. Out-of-hours work can be arranged if that suits the building.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. If you need photos or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We do not give ratings or certificates for our work. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we apply a product tested for it, recording the locations and products.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Commercial buildings in Studdal
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, 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.
For landlords with property near Martin Mill station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We check the gap size around the service against the product’s tested range.
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist and we’ll mention anything we notice.
What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a village or hamlet like Studdal, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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 faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Related advice
Common problems we fix in Studdal
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as East Studdal Church Hall, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
Questions to ask before you book
- How hidden problems are handled
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether they’re fully insured
What happens if it’s left?
For some gaps, sealant is not the right answer and another system is needed. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We will say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. In a small place like Studdal, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll talk you through it.
