What we are called out for in Little Conghurst
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
Schools such as Hawkhurst Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
What your quote should include
- Are they insured?
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How hidden problems are handled
Fire rated sealant in Little Conghurst
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; in a fire it expands into the joint. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. We work on plasterboard & masonry, flats & HMOs and linear gaps, and the jobs we see most are fire seals that have cracked with movement and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Little Conghurst, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Questions from Little Conghurst
Is Little Conghurst within the area you cover?
Yes, Little Conghurst is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Etchingham station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. We work from the specification you give us and install to the manufacturer’s details.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we are fully insured too.
What does intumescent mean?
Intumescent means it swells when heated to help seal the gap. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Can I do it myself?
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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
To get a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. We will give you a clear quote before any work starts.
When something else is needed
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before you book.

Why deal with it now?
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, and we work to the product details every time. Older cottages and farmhouses around Little Conghurst can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Fire rated sealant in Little Conghurst: 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. Little Conghurst has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.
Community buildings like Church of All Saints are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. If you let a flat or house near Etchingham station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Surface by surface
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach.
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in with backing where the detail needs it.
