Brandfold Fire Rated Sealant
Problem with your fire-stopping gaps in Brandfold? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and get them seen to.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the job gets bigger.
Fire rated sealant in Brandfold
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, and we can record what went where. We work on flats & HMOs, linear gaps and service penetrations, and the jobs we see most are seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and new service routes left unsealed after building work.
Somewhere as small as Brandfold, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Brandfold and across Kent.

What we do, step by step
When we get to you, 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 a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Brandfold needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any tricky access
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

DIY versus a professional finish
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.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Commercial buildings in Brandfold
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Managing a site like Goudhurst and Kilndown Church of England Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. If you let a flat or house near Marden station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. For buildings such as St Mary's Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. We clean out dust and debris before sealing so the seal has something sound to bond to.
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We seal them along their full length so there are no open sections left.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Brandfold
Do you cover Brandfold for fire rated sealant?

Do you cover smaller places like Brandfold?
Yes, Brandfold is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one of the options. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We do not issue ratings or certificates ourselves. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves; we install to those details and record what we did.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it will not last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. The order of work and access are planned with you.
