Fire rated sealant in Wittensford
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. We are often asked to deal with sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated, across linear gaps, pipe & cable gaps and service penetrations.
In a village or hamlet like Wittensford, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Commercial buildings in Wittensford

Rented homes near Ashurst New Forest station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

The process
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. For a village or hamlet like Wittensford, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before any work starts to keep disruption down.
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.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
There’s no set price list. What we look at:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The product the joint needs
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The type of property
To get a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the location and a short description of the problem. We will send you a clear quote before any work starts.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Do you cover Wittensford for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Wittensford is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Do you work for landlords with property near Ashurst New Forest station?

What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one of the options. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Wittensford and the rest of Hampshire, along with the rest of our area.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We do not give ratings or certificates for our work. Your specification sets the requirement, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it with a record of each location.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
Leave it or put it right?
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, and we work to the product details every time. Around Wittensford, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
