About our fire rated sealant in Tunstall
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. Typical jobs include ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, across linear gaps, pipe & cable gaps and plasterboard & masonry.
Work in a small place like Tunstall is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Tunstall and across Kent.

What happens on the day
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere as small as Tunstall, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Surface by surface
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both from the manufacturer’s details.

Common problems we fix in Tunstall
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.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
For buildings such as Church of St John the Baptist, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Tunstall: your questions answered
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Tunstall?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Do you cover smaller places like Tunstall?
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.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
What affects the quote in Tunstall
You will get a clear quote before work begins. It’s based on:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- When we can work, for business premises
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The rough size of the job
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where and its rough size. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.
Leave it or put it right?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, and we work to the product details every time. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Tunstall, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.

What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

Fire rated sealant around Tunstall
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. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Tunstall. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.
If you look after a building such as Tunstall Church of England (Aided) Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Letting a property close to Sittingbourne station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
