About our fire rated sealant in Drellingore
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. We work on plasterboard & masonry, service penetrations and pipe & cable gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and open joints along the top of partitions.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Drellingore, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the job gets bigger.
Why deal with it now?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, so both the product and the method matter. Around Drellingore, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Drellingore questions
Do you cover smaller places like Drellingore?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Folkestone Central station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Drellingore and the rest of Kent.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we’re fully insured.
Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes aren’t treated the same. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each.
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

- The type of sealant required
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:

- The problem you’ve noticed
- How we’d reach the joints

What fire rated sealant looks like in Drellingore
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Drellingore, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Folkestone Central station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Drellingore?
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 does not always get resealed.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Michael, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, depending on how much there is to do. Somewhere like Drellingore 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.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
