Durrant Green Fire Rated Sealant
Professional fire rated sealant in and around Durrant Green, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a one-year guarantee.

How we handle fire rated sealant in Durrant Green
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. We work on linear gaps, service penetrations and plasterboard & masonry, and the jobs we see most are fire seals that have cracked with movement and damaged fire sealant left by other trades.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Durrant Green, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Durrant Green?
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it isn’t installed as tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried particularly when it was the last job before handover.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
Schools such as St Michael's Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
What your quote should include
- How long to leave it before use
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Is VAT in the price?
Fire rated sealant in Durrant Green: local notes
In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Letting a property close to Pluckley station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. For buildings such as Church of St Michael, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one option among several. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
That isn’t something we state or certify. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we are fully insured too.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
What sealant work cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
What happens if it’s left?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Getting them done and written up gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Durrant Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
