- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor

Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Bardrainney
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, and we can record what went where. If you have sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, we can put it right.
For a place like Bardrainney, the journey and timings are planned in advance, 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 affects the cost of fire rated sealant
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Access and height
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many areas need sealing
- The size of the job
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Roughly how big the job is

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Bardrainney
Gaps also open up as buildings move: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
Look out for any of the following:
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
Around Bardrainney, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before booking
- What insurance they hold
- How long to leave it before use
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether the sealant suits the joint

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint and we’ll tell you which one you have.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so you can show it was dealt with.
Questions from Bardrainney
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Bardrainney?
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 do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Do you cover smaller places like Bardrainney?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. We will tell you when we quote.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It might close the gap, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal. A tested fire-rated product is needed and we can apply it for you.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself.

Surface by surface
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, depending on the size of the job. Outside jobs in Bardrainney need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
