Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere as small as Newington, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Newington
I let a flat near Folkestone West station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Newington?
Yes. Newington is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We do not give ratings or certificates for our work. Your specification sets the requirement, and we apply a product tested for it with a record of each location.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all, and the choice depends on the gap.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant, to the product’s details. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Newington
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Newington and across Kent. Several sites can go on one quote.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Newington?
Much fire stopping is hidden: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
For buildings such as Church of St Nicholas, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

What the job involves on each surface
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes aren’t treated the same. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each.
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
What we seal

- Linear gaps

Commercial buildings in Newington
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Newington, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Folkestone West station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
