Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Ringlestone
We do not assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. We work on service penetrations, linear gaps and flats & HMOs, and common reasons people get in touch are door frames with gaps between frame and wall and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap.
Community buildings, schools and small businesses around places like Ringlestone have washrooms and kitchens that see a lot of use. Sealant and fire-rated joints there matter as much as in any larger building.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Why deal with it now?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again when the building is next checked. In a smaller place like Ringlestone, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
What you get with us
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Full insurance on every job
- 180+ five-star Google reviews
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator

Workplaces and buildings in Ringlestone
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Ringlestone. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed. 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.
Letting a property close to Maidstone Barracks station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Paul's Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. For a job in Ringlestone, 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.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that is easy.
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 seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Common questions in Ringlestone
Do you work in hotels near Ringlestone?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
I let a flat near Maidstone Barracks station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one option among several. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Ringlestone.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. Our work is the gap around the frame and we’ll tell you if we spot problems with the door.
Do you come to Ringlestone?
We do. Ringlestone is part of the area we cover.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
When to call us in Ringlestone
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
Managing a site like North Borough Junior School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
