Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Nettlestead Green
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk doesn’t make it fire-rated. We cut out the wrong material and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. If you have damaged fire sealant left by other trades and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment, we can help, on door frames, plasterboard & masonry and linear gaps alike.
For a small place like Nettlestead Green, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

Fire rated sealant around Nettlestead Green
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For buildings such as St Mary's Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Nettlestead Green questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Yalding station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover Nettlestead Green for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Nettlestead Green is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. Occupied flats, HMOs, offices and schools are all fine and we plan access around the people using them. Out-of-hours work can be arranged if that suits the building.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent means it swells when heated. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Advice
Why act early in Nettlestead Green
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 Nettlestead Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before any work starts.

Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We measure the gap at its widest point against the product’s tested range.
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We work along the whole run.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Letting agents and landlords in Nettlestead Green can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.

Should I try it myself first?
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 does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
