FAQs for Sissinghurst
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Staplehurst station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is Sissinghurst within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
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.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam is not tested as fire stopping. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. 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?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Sissinghurst, along with the rest of our area.
Fire rated sealant in Sissinghurst, done properly
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That detail is what we take care over. We work on service penetrations, flats & HMOs and door frames, and the jobs we see most are open joints along the top of partitions and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed.
Somewhere as small as Sissinghurst, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Fire rated sealant around Sissinghurst
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.
Community buildings like Church of the Holy Trinity are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Cranbrook School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
Sissinghurst is about 11 miles south of Maidstone, in Kent. Jobs in Sissinghurst get the same care as everywhere else we work: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Our Kent coverage runs to 922 places, Sissinghurst among them. Crawley is on our list too, around 32 miles away.
We work across TN17 for fire rated sealant and the streets around it.

What the job involves on each surface
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail, and tell you if sealant alone isn’t the right fix.
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail.
For landlords and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Landlords and agents in Sissinghurst can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Sissinghurst
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
For landlords with property near Staplehurst station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Why act early in Sissinghurst
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Getting them done and written up means you can show the action was taken. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Sissinghurst, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. It usually takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. For a village or hamlet like Sissinghurst, 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.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
When it is not the sealant
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It will not solve:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
