Herne Common: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Herne Bay station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Herne Common within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Herne Common
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. We work on linear gaps, pipe & cable gaps and flats & HMOs, and the jobs we see most are new service routes left unsealed after building work and open holes round services passing through fire walls.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Herne Common, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the seal has something sound to bond to.
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in over any backing the detail calls for.
Why deal with it now?
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Around Herne Common, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Herne Common
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Herne Common, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
For landlords with property near Herne Bay station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. For buildings such as Church of St Martin, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system

What we are called out for in Herne Common
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service is not always sealed again.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
Managing a site like Herne Church of England Infant School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
