Commercial buildings in Swan Street
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 are given, installing the product to its tested details.
For buildings such as Church of St Barnabas, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Managing a site like Chappel Church of England Controlled Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

About our fire rated sealant in Swan Street
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. If you have gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and holes left by a change of layout, we can help, on plasterboard & masonry, flats & HMOs and service penetrations alike.

Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Swan Street
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust won’t perform as it was tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried.
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
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
For landlords with property near Chappel & Wakes Colne station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
What the job involves on each surface
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement from the manufacturer’s details.

What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot to help seal the gap. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control, and apply each product to its tested details.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Swan Street, along with the rest of our area.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
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.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes.
