How we handle fire rated sealant in New Pound
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. We work on plasterboard & masonry, flats & HMOs and linear gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near New Pound, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in New Pound and across Kent.

FAQs for New Pound
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Wateringbury station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like New Pound?
Yes, New Pound is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover New Pound.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Surface by surface
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We work along the whole run.
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
What affects the quote in New Pound
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- How much there is to do
- Whether the work is at height
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- How we’d reach the joints
For a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. We’ll send you a clear quote before any work starts.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in New Pound
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
For buildings such as St Lawrence's Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
Before you book anyone
- How the colour is chosen
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Commercial buildings in New Pound
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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Schools such as Mereworth Community Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. If you let a flat or house near Wateringbury station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Related advice
Why act early in New Pound
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. In a small place like New Pound, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Why us?
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- One-year guarantee on every job
