Biddenden Green Fire Rated Sealant
We cover Biddenden Green for intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
What happens if it’s left?
For some gaps, sealant isn’t the right answer and another system is needed. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We’ll say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Biddenden Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

Common problems we fix in Biddenden Green
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Smarden Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
For landlords and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can be quoted together.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In a small place like Biddenden Green, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it.
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Fire rated sealant in Biddenden Green: local notes
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.
Community buildings like Church of St Michael are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. For landlords with property near Pluckley station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Biddenden Green questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Pluckley station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Biddenden Green?
Yes. Biddenden Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use, installed to its details.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we’re fully insured.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in so it’s there for the next inspection.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. We work from the specification you give us and install to the manufacturer’s details.
