How we handle fire rated sealant in Strood
We don’t 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. If you are dealing with seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and new service routes left unsealed after building work, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
If you look after a school, care home, pub or office in Strood, washroom sealant, kitchen joints and fire-rated sealant around service openings all need upkeep. Work can be planned around opening hours where needed.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Medway.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Strood
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
Look out for these signs:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
For buildings such as St Francis' Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Strood
Is Strood in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Strood is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Do you take on hotel work around Strood?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself, and we will mention anything we notice about the door.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
What happens if it’s left?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Black mould and gaps in sealant do not fix themselves, and in a busy home in Strood they get worse with every use. Now is the easy time to put it right.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why book with us
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- We are fully insured

Commercial buildings in Strood
Strood has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. 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, 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.
If you look after a building such as Elaine Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Rented homes near Strood station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
How the job changes by surface
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both.
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the seal has something sound to bond to.
When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
- Door frames
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
