About our fire rated sealant in Woodside
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap isn’t a fire-rated seal. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. If you have gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and open holes round services passing through fire walls, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Around a place like Woodside, halls, schools and small businesses all have washrooms and kitchens used by many people. Sealant and fire-rated joints there matter as much as in any larger building.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Common questions in Woodside
Do you work for landlords with property near Garston station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you cover smaller places like Woodside?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Woodside?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
Where are you based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
Ratings and certificates are not something we issue. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves.
What happens if it’s left?
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. How it’s installed changes how it performs, and we work to the product details every time. In a smaller place like Woodside, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Woodside
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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Schools such as Alban Wood Primary School and Nursery are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of All Saints, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

The process
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. The work usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. A visit to Woodside is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
How to get a quote

Common problems we fix in Woodside
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
Letting a property close to Garston station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
What to look for in a quote
- What product goes in the joint
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Are they insured?
Different surfaces, different methods
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes aren’t treated the same. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail, and tell you if sealant alone is not the right fix.
