About our fire rated sealant in Upper Horsebridge
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk does not make it fire-rated. We cut out the wrong material and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. We work on service penetrations, door frames and pipe & cable gaps, and the jobs we see most are sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and linear gaps at the head of walls.
Around a place like Upper Horsebridge, halls, schools and small businesses all have washrooms and kitchens used by many people. Their sealant and fire-rated joints are as important as those in any bigger building.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.

Upper Horsebridge questions
Do you cover smaller places like Upper Horsebridge?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work in hotels near Upper Horsebridge?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps

What fire rated sealant looks like in Upper Horsebridge
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’re given, installing the product to its tested details. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Upper Horsebridge. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.
Managing a site like Hawkes Farm Academy? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Upper Horsebridge?
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It looks sealed, but it is not fire-rated.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
If you let a flat or house near Polegate 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
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What product goes in the joint
- What the cure time is
Why deal with it now?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own and needn’t wait for anything else. Homes in smaller places like Upper Horsebridge can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. It normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. A visit to Upper Horsebridge is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
