How we handle fire rated sealant in Stodmarsh
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That detail is what we take care over. We work on flats & HMOs, pipe & cable gaps and linear gaps, and people most often call us about gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Stodmarsh, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What affects the quote in Stodmarsh
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many areas need sealing
- Any mould that needs treating
- The number and length of the joints
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- If someone has resealed it before
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Roughly how big the job is
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and describe the job and send photos if you have them.
Why it’s worth doing now in Stodmarsh
A quick fill with any sealant to hand isn’t fire stopping. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. Around Stodmarsh, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll talk you through it.
What you get with us
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
Commercial buildings in Stodmarsh
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wickhambreaux Church of England Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it before applying the sealant.
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance so residents know what to expect.
When to call us in Stodmarsh
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 round the new service isn’t always sealed again.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
Rented homes near Sturry station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
Questions to ask before booking
- How long to leave it before use
- The length of the guarantee
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Stodmarsh, 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.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Stodmarsh: your questions answered
Is Stodmarsh in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Stodmarsh is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Stodmarsh?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.

Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant, to the product’s details. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
Can tenants book the work?
