How the job changes by surface
Flats and HMOs
Conversions usually leave a mix of old and new service holes. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product and the locations noted.
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail, and we will tell you.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Upper Green
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping isn’t our role; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. We’re often asked to deal with cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and linear gaps at the head of walls, across service penetrations, door frames and pipe & cable gaps.
Work in a small place like Upper Green is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

The process
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. For a village or hamlet like Upper Green, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.

What we’re called out for in Upper Green
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service is not always sealed again.
Look out for any of the following:
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Michael, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant

Upper Green: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Kintbury station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Will you come out to Upper Green?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Upper Green?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Commercial buildings in Upper Green
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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Schools such as Inkpen Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Rented homes near Kintbury station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Why act early in Upper Green
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own and needn’t wait for anything else. Older cottages and farmhouses around Upper Green can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
