Leave it or put it right?
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, and we work to the product details every time. Older cottages and farmhouses around Dunk's Green can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Dunk's Green
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it is not installed as tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried particularly when it was the last job before handover.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Holes left by a change of layout
Community buildings like Plaxtol Church are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Questions from Dunk's Green
Can you do fire rated sealant in Dunk's Green?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Dunk's Green is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Dunk's Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Dunk's Green is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product fitted to the maker’s details.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all and which one is used depends on the job.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used, so you have it on file.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we are fully insured.
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record so the item can be closed.
