Common questions in Wilstone
Do you cover smaller places like Wilstone?
Yes, Wilstone is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you cover Wilstone for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Wilstone is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No, assessment isn’t something we do. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we’ll quote for the sealant work on it.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in, so you have it on file.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Wilstone
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
Letting a property close to Cheddington station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
What your quote should include
- How much experience the applicator has
- What insurance they hold
- Whether you can choose the colour

What else we do in Wilstone
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In a small place like Wilstone, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
For some gaps, sealant is not the right answer and another system is needed. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. We will say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. In a small place like Wilstone, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Fire rated sealant around Wilstone
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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Cross, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Managing a site like Marsworth Church of England Infant School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
