Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Hackington
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. We work on linear gaps, plasterboard & masonry and pipe & cable gaps, and people most often call us about open gaps behind door architraves and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls.
In a village or hamlet like Hackington, 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.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Hackington and across Kent.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Hackington?
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
For landlords with property near Canterbury West station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere as small as Hackington, access is often the only tricky part.

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now means you can show the action was taken. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Hackington, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

FAQs for Hackington
Is Hackington in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Hackington is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Hackington?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant, and the choice depends on the gap.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Hackington and the rest of Kent, along with the rest of our area.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. Our work is the gap around the frame, and we will mention anything we notice about the door.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.

Fire rated sealant in Hackington: local notes
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Cosmus and St Damian, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Archbishop's School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
