How we handle fire rated sealant in Frant
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. If you’re dealing with open holes round services passing through fire walls and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey, we can help, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Frant, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a small place like Frant, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Why it’s worth doing now in Frant
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now means you can show the action was taken. Around Frant, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
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 list grows.

Fire rated sealant around Frant
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.
Community buildings like The Parish Church of St Alban are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. If you look after a building such as Frant Church of England Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. If you let a flat or house near Frant station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
Frant is about 3 miles south of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in Kent. Wherever you are in the TN3 postcode area, our applicators can take on fire rated sealant. Across Kent, we cover 922 places, Frant among them. For nearby work, see our Crawley page.

Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before any work starts.
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both.
For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
FAQs for Frant
I let a flat near Frant station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you cover smaller places like Frant?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
When it is not the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
