Fire-rated sealant in Westwood, Kent
Our applicators work in Westwood on intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly.
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
How we handle fire rated sealant in Westwood
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. Typical jobs include damaged fire sealant left by other trades and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, on plasterboard & masonry, service penetrations and door frames.
In a village or hamlet like Westwood, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Landlords and agents in Westwood can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on. Expect the work to take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere like Westwood needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Common problems we fix in Westwood
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.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
Letting a property close to Bekesbourne station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
What to look for in a quote
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How the colour is chosen
- How long the guarantee is
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Leave it or put it right?
For some gaps, sealant is not the right answer and another system is needed. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We will say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. In a small place like Westwood, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Westwood
- One-year guarantee on every job
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work

Common questions in Westwood
Do you cover smaller places like Westwood?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Westwood?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Westwood is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. We record the locations we’ve sealed and the products used.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product fitted to the maker’s details.
