About our fire rated sealant in Kearsney
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. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. We work on flats & HMOs, pipe & cable gaps and plasterboard & masonry, and the jobs we see most are gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and open gaps behind door architraves.
In a smaller place like Kearsney, commercial jobs tend to be smaller buildings: a pub, a surgery, a school, a shop or a few business units. Each needs the same care with its sealant as any larger building.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are.

- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- 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.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Kearsney
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It looks sealed, but it is not fire-rated.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
Schools such as Temple Ewell Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

How long does fire rated sealant take?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant, to the product’s details. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
Where is Mr Mastic based?

What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It looks sealed but will not perform as fire stopping. A tested fire-rated product is needed and we can apply it for you.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.

Fire rated sealant in Kearsney: local notes
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Kearsney, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. 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 are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. If you let a flat or house near Kearsney station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

What happens if it’s left?
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Getting them done and written up means you can show the action was taken. Around Kearsney, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Why us?

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is normally a straightforward job.
