- Open gaps behind door architraves
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot, so ask us which we used.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Standen
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it. Typical jobs include fire seals that have cracked with movement and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, on linear gaps, service penetrations and pipe & cable gaps.
Work in a small place like Standen is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are covered after we have gone.

FAQs for Standen
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Headcorn station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Standen?
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.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What does intumescent mean?
Intumescent means it swells when heated, helping close the gap. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
What we are called out for in Standen
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.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
Letting a property close to Headcorn station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How hidden problems are handled
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.

Fire rated sealant in Standen: 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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
