What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard for the gap we’re sealing.
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.

What else we do in Bessels Green
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.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
FAQs for Bessels Green
Is Bessels Green within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Sevenoaks station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We do not certify fire stopping or quote ratings. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and giving you a record of where it went.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. The old sealant always comes out first.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam isn’t tested as fire stopping. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
How long will you be here?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Bessels Green
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It may look fine, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
Managing a site like Riverhead Infants' School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

How we quote for fire rated sealant

- Access and height
- Any mould that needs treating

- The type of sealant required
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
Any fire seal that’s cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the job gets bigger.
Workplaces and buildings in Bessels Green
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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Rented homes near Sevenoaks station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Chapel of the Good Shepherd, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Advice
Why act early in Bessels Green
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, and we work to the product details every time. Around Bessels Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
