Wickham St Paul questions
Is Wickham St Paul in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Wickham St Paul is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Will you come out to Wickham St Paul?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Wickham St Paul, along with the rest of our area.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot to help seal the gap. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint, so ask us which we used.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
What sealant work cannot fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Wickham St Paul
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Community buildings like Church of All Saints are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Rented homes near Sudbury (Suffolk) station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Why deal with it now?
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Older cottages and farmhouses around Wickham St Paul can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Surface by surface
Linear gaps
Linear gaps run along the head of walls, at floor edges and between panels. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We check the gap size around the service against the product’s tested range.
