We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.

How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Clapper Hill needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.

Common questions in Clapper Hill
I let a flat near Headcorn station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Clapper Hill within the area you cover?
Yes, Clapper Hill 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 the work guaranteed?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We do not issue ratings or certificates ourselves. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer.
Why deal with it now?
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. Around Clapper Hill, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
What you get with us
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Fully insured
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
What affects the quote in Clapper Hill
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- Access and height
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Roughly how big the job is
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- How we’d reach the joints
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that is easy.
What sealant work cannot fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs

These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
Letting a property close to Headcorn station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
