Questions from Baberton
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Baberton?
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 carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Do you work for landlords with property near Wester Hailes station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam is not tested as fire stopping. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Tell us how the building is used and we will plan around it.
Do you work in Baberton?
Yes. We’re based in Crawley and work across South East England, London and Scotland, and that includes Baberton.
Why it’s worth doing now in Baberton
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Private landlords in Baberton must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
Rather than a set price list, 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.

Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Assessing a building’s fire safety

What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
Frame gaps are generally hidden behind the architrave. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size.
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 tell you.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
For landlords and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The number of rooms or windows
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The size of the job
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it has been sealed before
- A few photos by email, if you can
