Fire rated sealant in Westwell, done properly
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That detail is what we take care over, gap by gap. We work on pipe & cable gaps, linear gaps and door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are open holes round services passing through fire walls and fire stopping disturbed by later work.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Westwell, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Westwell
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The size of the job
- The product the joint needs
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The type of property
- The address or postcode of the job
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Westwell and the rest of Kent, along with the rest of our area.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. We’ll tell you when we quote.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.

Leave it or put it right?
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. In a small place like Westwell, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Why us?
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Neat joints and a tidy finish

Fire rated sealant around Westwell
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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
For landlords with property near Charing station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. For buildings such as Church of St Mary, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. It usually takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere as small as Westwell, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
Common problems we fix in Westwell
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Hayesbrook School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
Questions to ask before booking
- Are they insured?
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What product goes in the joint
- What guarantee comes with the work
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the job gets bigger.
