Quotes for fire rated sealant in Barns of Claverhouse
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- When we can work, for business premises
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The size of the job
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Barns of Claverhouse
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It looks sealed, but it isn’t fire-rated.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
Schools such as Baldragon Academy are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot and we will tell you which one you have.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record so you can show it was dealt with.
Surface by surface
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes are not treated the same. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail, and tell you if sealant alone is not the right fix.
Flats and HMOs
Conversions normally leave a mix of old and new service holes. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product.
Leave it or put it right?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. On its own, sealing it now is a small job. In an older home around Barns of Claverhouse, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What you get with us
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Fully insured
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas

Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.

Intumescent means it swells when heated. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
