Why act early in The Green
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now means you can show the action was taken. Around The Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why choose Mr Mastic in The Green

Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in The Green
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping isn’t our role; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. We work on flats & HMOs, pipe & cable gaps and plasterboard & masonry, and people most often call us about holes left by a change of layout and fire seals that have cracked with movement.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near The Green, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in The Green
Do you cover The Green for fire rated sealant?
Yes, The Green is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you work for landlords with property near Cressing station?

Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product fitted to the maker’s details.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant following the tested details. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you need fire rated sealant in The Green?
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
Rented homes near Cressing station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
Before booking anyone
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Is VAT in the price?
- How the colour is chosen
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the list grows.
What sealant work can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

Fire rated sealant in The Green: local notes
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Managing a site like Cressing Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Community buildings like St Barnabas are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Should I try it myself 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.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
What we do, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, including the tidy-up. For a village or hamlet like The Green, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.

Preparing for the visit

- Move anything stored near the joints
