What fire rated sealant looks like in Hadlow
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. Hadlow has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Letting a property close to Beltring station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. If you look after a building such as Hadlow Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

About our fire rated sealant in Hadlow
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. If you have cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Hadlow, 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, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Hadlow and across Kent.

Why act early in Hadlow
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Around Hadlow, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

FAQs for Hadlow
Will you come out to Hadlow?
Yes, Hadlow is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you take on hotel work around Hadlow?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
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 apply a product tested for it.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing and where.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Hadlow and the rest of Kent.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The product the joint needs
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Roughly how big the job is
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Whether it has been sealed before
We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What we’re called out for in Hadlow
Door frames are a common weak spot. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
Community buildings like St Mary's Church are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
What your quote should include
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
Landlord and commercial work in Hadlow
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Hadlow needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

What the job involves on each surface
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified room by room.
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it.
