Fire Rated Sealant in Penenden Heath
Intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations for homes and businesses in Penenden Heath and across Kent. ARBOMaster approved applicators, fully insured, with a one-year guarantee.
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
Fire rated sealant in Penenden Heath
We do not assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. We work on linear gaps, flats & HMOs and pipe & cable gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and fire stopping disturbed by later work.
Community buildings, schools and small businesses around places like Penenden Heath have washrooms and kitchens that see a lot of use. Sealant and fire-rated joints there matter as much as in any larger building.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Penenden Heath and everywhere else we cover.

How it works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access and we leave things clean and tidy. For a job in Penenden Heath, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Clear the area around the work

Common questions in Penenden Heath
Will you come out to Penenden Heath?
Yes, Penenden Heath is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you take on hotel work around Penenden Heath?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We don’t give ratings or certificates for our work. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we apply a product tested for it with a record of each location.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we are fully insured.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Penenden Heath
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. Penenden Heath has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
For buildings such as St Paul's Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. For landlords with property near Maidstone East station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel

What we are called out for in Penenden Heath
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It looks sealed, but it isn’t fire-rated.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
If you look after a building such as St Paul's Infant School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Is VAT in the price?
- How long to leave it before use
- What insurance they hold
Landlord and commercial work in Penenden Heath
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.

How the job changes by surface
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
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 and we will flag it.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own that doesn’t depend on other work. In an older home around Penenden Heath, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
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 will explain what it covers.
