Fire Rated Sealant in Balemartine
Intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations for householders, landlords and businesses in Balemartine. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Balemartine
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor for buildings in Balemartine. Send us the list or the survey and we’ll quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. If you have damaged fire sealant left by other trades and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, we can put it right, on linear gaps, flats & HMOs and pipe & cable gaps alike.
For holiday lets, guest houses and community buildings in or near Balemartine, the washrooms and kitchens need the same care as any city building, and fire-rated joints should be kept in good order.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion

- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system

Questions from Balemartine
Do you cover smaller places like Balemartine?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is Balemartine in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Balemartine is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Can you work in occupied 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.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you’ll get one quote.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Why deal with it now?
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the work involved is often modest. Around Balemartine, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. The gap is cleaned and backed where required.
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We seal them along their full length so there are no open sections left.
