About fire rated sealant in East Renfrewshire

Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That’s the part we focus on. We work on service penetrations, flats & HMOs and door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers.

Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access.

First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
We record the locations and products used for your records.

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 call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

How we quote for fire rated sealant

Your quote is based on your job. We look at:

Any working-time requirements on site
The old material and how stubborn it is
Which sealant suits the joint
Whether the work is at height

Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

What we need to know

What to tell us when you ask for a quote:

If someone has resealed it before
The rough size of the job
The address or postcode of the job
Pictures of the joints, sent by email

For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work before giving you a price.

Keeping the joints in good condition

So the new joints stay in good condition:

Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it

Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.

Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.

Common problems we fix in East Renfrewshire

Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.

People usually contact us when they notice one of these:

Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
Fire stopping disturbed by later work
Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment

Why act early?

A quick fill with any sealant to hand isn’t fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap.

East Renfrewshire questions

Do you provide details of the products used?

Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used so it’s there for the next inspection.

How long does the job take?

Typically it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.

Will it make a mess?

Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.

Where is Mr Mastic based?

We are a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.

Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?

Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
