For landlords and businesses

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.

What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, including the tidy-up. In a smaller place like Townhill Park, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- 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.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
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.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record.
What we’re called out for in Townhill Park
Gaps also open up as buildings move: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
For landlords with property near Swaythling station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What preparation is included
Why act early in Townhill Park
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. In a smaller place like Townhill Park, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first.

What affects the quote in Townhill Park
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Whether the work is at height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The size of the job
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- The type of property
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will come back to you with a quote.
Questions from Townhill Park
Do you cover smaller places like Townhill Park?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Swaythling station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No, assessment is not something we do. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we’ll quote for the sealant work on it.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Townhill Park
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 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 Townhill Junior School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Community buildings like St. Mary's Church are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
