Fire rated sealant across West Lothian: what to expect
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. We’re often asked to deal with gaps left after a refit or conversion and open holes round services passing through fire walls, on service penetrations, flats & HMOs and pipe & cable gaps.
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, depending on the size of the job.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.

Where we work in West Lothian
Across West Lothian, from Livingston, Bathgate and Linlithgow outwards, offices, hotels, schools and shops all need sealant work from time to time.
Scottish weather is hard on outside joints, especially in the wetter west. That shapes the choice of sealant for jobs across West Lothian. In the coastal parts of West Lothian, the sea-facing side of a building takes the most weather, and that is where sealant normally gives up first. Good preparation and the right sealant help it cope.
Livingston: Community buildings like St Andrew's Church are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Rented homes near Livingston North station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Surface by surface
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We seal them along their full length.
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We work through the gaps on your assessment, flat by flat if needed.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents and landlords in West Lothian can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll give you a quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own that does not depend on other work.
Questions to ask before booking
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What preparation is included
- Is VAT in the price?
Your questions about fire rated sealant in West Lothian
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one of the options. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No, assessment isn’t something we do. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
Do you work in West Lothian?
Yes. We work in West Lothian, as part of our work across South East England, London and Scotland. To book, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
