Roughway Fire Rated Sealant
We cover Roughway for intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly.
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
How we handle fire rated sealant in Roughway
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we follow the tested detail for each one. Common call-outs are for gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and old fire sealant that has split or come away, on door frames, linear gaps and plasterboard & masonry.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Roughway, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Roughway and across Kent.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
When it is not the sealant
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
Why it’s worth doing now in Roughway
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the work involved is often modest. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Roughway, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

FAQs for Roughway
I let a flat near Borough Green & Wrotham station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. 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.
Do you cover smaller places like Roughway?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control, and apply each product to its tested details.
What fire rating will the seal have?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and list the locations and products for you.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We measure the gap at its widest point against the product’s tested range.
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Roughway
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, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hadlow Rural Community School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is normally a straightforward job.

From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
