Your questions about fire rated sealant in Bantaskin
Do you work in hotels near Bantaskin?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
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 do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used to keep with your fire safety documents.
Do you work in Bantaskin?
Yes. We cover Bantaskin. For a quote, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Bantaskin?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
About our fire rated sealant in Bantaskin
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. We work on door frames, plasterboard & masonry and pipe & cable gaps, and the jobs we see most are fire stopping disturbed by later work and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant.
If you look after holiday lets, a guest house or a community building in or near Bantaskin, the washrooms and kitchens need the same care as any city building, and fire-rated joints should be kept in good order.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What happens if it’s left?
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Around Bantaskin, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Bantaskin
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It looks sealed, but it isn’t fire-rated.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Holes left by a change of layout
Managing a site like Falkirk High School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Surface by surface
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
