- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out 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.
Fire rated sealant in Upton, done properly
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping is not 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. If you are dealing with joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and fire seals that have cracked with movement, we can put it right, on linear gaps, service penetrations and plasterboard & masonry alike.
Somewhere as small as Upton, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Advice
Do you need fire rated sealant in Upton?
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service is not always sealed again.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
Rented homes near Aylesbury Vale Parkway station change hands often, and 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 seal over old material or remove it
- What the cure time is
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How the colour is chosen

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Fire rated sealant around Upton
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Managing a site like Stone Church of England Combined School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Community buildings like Church of Saints Peter and Paul are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Upton questions
I let a flat near Aylesbury Vale Parkway station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Upton in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Upton is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
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.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and list the locations and products for you.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. All our work carries our one-year guarantee.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used for your files.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant following the tested details. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
What happens if it’s left?
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Getting them done and written up means you can show the action was taken. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Upton, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will talk you through it.
