About our fire rated sealant in Widdington
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. We work on pipe & cable gaps, linear gaps and service penetrations, and common reasons people get in touch are fire seals that have cracked with movement and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Widdington, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What we are called out for in Widdington
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Holes left by a change of layout
Community buildings like Church of St Mary the Virgin are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How long the guarantee is
For landlords and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can be quoted together.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Surface by surface
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach, and we will tell you.
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth over any backing the detail calls for.

The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere as small as Widdington, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

For landlords with property near Newport (Essex) station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Widdington: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Newport (Essex) station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is Widdington within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used for your files.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam is not tested as fire stopping. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Widdington and the rest of Essex.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Widdington?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before work begins.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- How many areas need sealing
- Any mould that needs treating
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Access and height
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
