What happens if it’s left?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Allanton
Do you work for landlords with property near Chatelherault station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Allanton?
Yes, Allanton is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with a one-year guarantee.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Surface by surface
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail and we’ll flag it.
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. We clean out dust and debris before sealing so the seal has something sound to bond to.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Allanton
In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details, though we do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
If you let a flat or house near Chatelherault station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Managing a site like Our Lady's High School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Common problems we fix in Allanton
Much fire stopping is hidden: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Ferniegair Mission Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
What to look for in a quote
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What product goes in the joint
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
