About our fire rated sealant in Goudhurst
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. We’re often asked to deal with door frames with gaps between frame and wall and damaged fire sealant left by other trades, on door frames, linear gaps and service penetrations.
In a village or hamlet like Goudhurst, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- The amount of work
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The product the joint needs
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Where the property is
- Roughly how big the job is
- If someone has resealed it before
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved.
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Commercial buildings in Goudhurst
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 are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Mary's Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Letting a property close to Marden station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Schools such as Goudhurst and Kilndown Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
How the job changes by surface
Linear gaps
Linear gaps run along the head of walls, at floor edges and between panels. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. The gap is cleaned of dust first.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Goudhurst
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Common questions in Goudhurst
Is Goudhurst in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Goudhurst is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Will you come out to Goudhurst?
Yes, Goudhurst is covered. We work across 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 you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. Occupied flats, HMOs, offices and schools are all fine and we plan access around the people using them. Early starts or out-of-hours work can be arranged where it’s needed.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we’re done.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.

The process
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere as small as Goudhurst, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- 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.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
