How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, depending on the size of the job. For a place like Abington, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- 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 and the gap cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Advice
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
How the job changes by surface
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail and we flag any that need another system.
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.

Why act early in Abington
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
Why book with us
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas

FAQs for Abington
Do you cover Abington for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Abington is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Whatever the rules, fire-rated sealant has to be installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and that is how we fit it. We do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Should I try DIY first?
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.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Abington?
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
Around Abington, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
