Fire rated sealant in Lordswood: local notes
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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For buildings such as St David's Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. If you look after a building such as St Benedict's Catholic Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Lordswood
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping isn’t our role; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. We work on door frames, linear gaps and plasterboard & masonry, and common reasons people get in touch are ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey.
In a smaller place like Lordswood, 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.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Lordswood as everywhere else we work.

Other services in Lordswood
Do you need fire rated sealant in Lordswood?
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. 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 are asked about most:
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
Rented homes near Chatham station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
What your quote should include
- What insurance they hold
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How long the guarantee is
When something else is needed
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before work begins. Sealant will not put right:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Lordswood
Do you cover Lordswood for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Lordswood is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you work for landlords with property near Chatham station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
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. Homes in smaller places like Lordswood can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before work begins.
Why book with us
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Fully insured
Read our cost guide and customer reviews.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
The process
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access for a typical job. In a smaller place like Lordswood, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Preparing for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
