Fire rated sealant in Plaxtol: 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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
For landlords with property near Borough Green & Wrotham station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Plaxtol Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Community buildings like Plaxtol Church are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
Plaxtol is about 4 miles north of Tonbridge, in Kent. Whether you are in the middle of Plaxtol or further out, we cover fire rated sealant for every kind of property. Across Kent, we cover 922 places, and Plaxtol is one of them. There’s also a page for London, about 24 miles away.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are and we leave things clean and tidy. For a village or hamlet like Plaxtol, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
Landlord and commercial work in Plaxtol
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Landlords and letting agents in Plaxtol can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.

Plaxtol questions
Do you cover smaller places like Plaxtol?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Borough Green & Wrotham station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. All our work carries a one-year guarantee.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we are fully insured.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
Why it’s worth doing now in Plaxtol
Sealant is not the fix for every opening. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. We will say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. In a small place like Plaxtol, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
