Fire rated sealant in Banknock, done properly

We work on door frames, pipe & cable gaps and flats & HMOs, and people most often call us about joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap.
Work in a place like Banknock is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

What we’re called out for in Banknock
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
If you let a flat or house near Cumbernauld station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Questions from Banknock
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Banknock?
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’s 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 Cumbernauld station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Do you work in Banknock?
Yes. We cover Banknock and the rest of Falkirk. To book, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
What sealant 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. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Where do you work from?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes and the job gets bigger.
Why it’s worth doing now in Banknock
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. How it’s installed changes how it performs, and we work to the product details every time. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.

Can I do it myself?

How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, including the tidy-up. Outdoor work around Banknock depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.

Preparing for the visit

- Clear the area around the work
