Fire Rated Sealant in Bekesbourne Hill
Professional fire rated sealant in and around Bekesbourne Hill, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a 12-month guarantee.

- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
Surface by surface
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement, following the tested detail.
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance so residents know what to expect.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Bekesbourne Hill
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. If you have gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant, we can put it right, on linear gaps, flats & HMOs and door frames alike.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Bekesbourne Hill, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Bekesbourne Hill as everywhere else we work.

What happens if it’s left?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand isn’t fire stopping. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, so both the product and the method matter. Older cottages and farmhouses around Bekesbourne Hill can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Fire rated sealant around Bekesbourne Hill
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bridge and Patrixbourne Church of England Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Rented homes near Bekesbourne station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Common problems we fix in Bekesbourne Hill
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
Community buildings like Church of St Peter are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What sealant work cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
Bekesbourne Hill questions
Is Bekesbourne Hill within the area you cover?
Yes, Bekesbourne Hill is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Bekesbourne station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. We record the locations we’ve sealed and the products used for your files.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Bekesbourne Hill?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.

- How easy the joints are to reach
