Fire rated sealant in Kippington, done properly
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. Typical jobs include seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and open joints along the top of partitions, on door frames, service penetrations and pipe & cable gaps.
For a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Kippington, the washrooms and kitchen need the same attention as a big site, and fire-rated sealant around service openings should be restored after new pipes or cables go through.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint, so ask us which we used.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number and length of the joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number of rooms or windows
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Where the property is
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
Why deal with it now?
For some gaps, sealant isn’t the right answer and another system is needed. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We’ll say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Around Kippington, 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.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.

Questions from Kippington

Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you take on hotel work around Kippington?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.

Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Do you provide details of the products used?

Is it messy?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Kippington
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. Kippington 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.
Rented homes near Sevenoaks station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Managing a site like St Thomas' Catholic Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
