Tutt Hill Fire Rated Sealant
Our applicators work in Tutt Hill on intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and a 12-month guarantee.
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail and we will flag it.
Fire rated sealant in Tutt Hill, done properly
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, with each location and product recorded. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. We work on flats & HMOs, linear gaps and plasterboard & masonry, and common reasons people get in touch are ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Tutt Hill, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Tutt Hill and across Kent.

What we’re called out for in Tutt Hill
Door frames are a common weak spot. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
Managing a site like The Hayesbrook School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

What happens if it’s left?
Sealant is not the fix for every opening. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. We will say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Around Tutt Hill, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Tutt Hill
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
If you manage several properties in or around Tutt Hill, several properties can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
How the visit works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building in most cases. Somewhere as small as Tutt Hill, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Tutt Hill questions
Can you do fire rated sealant in Tutt Hill?
Yes, Tutt Hill is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Is Tutt Hill within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
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.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it will not last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Tutt Hill?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
What does intumescent mean?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot, helping close the gap. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
