Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We work along the whole run.
Door frames
Frame gaps are usually hidden behind the architrave. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details.
Fire rated sealant in Pluckley
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk does not make it fire-rated. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. We work on linear gaps, pipe & cable gaps and door frames, and people most often call us about gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and damaged fire sealant left by other trades.
For a small place like Pluckley, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Questions from Pluckley
Do you work for landlords with property near Pluckley station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you cover smaller places like Pluckley?
Yes, we do. We work across 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 do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
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’ll tell you how long to expect.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes, whether the building is a school, an office, flats or an HMO, and whether it’s in use or not. Tell us how the building is used and we will plan around it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Fire rated sealant around Pluckley
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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.
If you let a flat or house near Pluckley station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. Schools such as Pluckley Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

The process
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Pluckley needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
Sealant isn’t the fix for every opening. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. If a gap is not suitable for sealant, we’ll tell you. In a small place like Pluckley, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first.

Common problems we fix in Pluckley
Over time, buildings change layout and use. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
Community buildings like Church of St Nicholas are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
