Fire rated sealant in Askomill, done properly
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That detail is what we take care over, one gap at a time. We work on linear gaps, flats & HMOs and door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and open gaps behind door architraves.
In a smaller place like Askomill, commercial jobs are more likely to be a hotel, guest house, school, surgery or community hall than an office block. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Common questions in Askomill
Will you come out to Askomill?
Yes, Askomill is covered. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Askomill?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant has to go in to the product’s tested details, and we follow them. We do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
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.

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
Why act early in Askomill
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. How it’s installed changes how it performs, and we work to the product details every time. Around Askomill, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.

Surface by surface
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details.
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard for each gap size.
What affects the quote in Askomill
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number and length of the joints
- Access and height
- How many areas need sealing
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- Where the property is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you’re ready, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
