Workplaces and buildings in Swaile's Green
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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Staplecross Methodist Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Letting a property close to Robertsbridge station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Swaile's Green
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. We work on pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and plasterboard & masonry, and the jobs we see most are unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and open joints along the top of partitions.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Swaile's Green, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- What’s wrong with the joints now

Swaile's Green: your questions answered
Do you cover Swaile's Green for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Swaile's Green is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Swaile's Green?
Yes, Swaile's Green is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal. Use a product tested for that gap and service, or ask us to do it.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Leave it or put it right?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. Around Swaile's Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Swaile's Green, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that isn’t 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

When it is not the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. It won’t solve:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Swaile's Green
Door frames are a common weak spot. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
Look out for these signs:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
For buildings such as St Marks Staplecross, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
