Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Beeswing
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That is the part we focus on, gap by gap. We work on flats & HMOs, door frames and pipe & cable gaps, and the jobs we see most are door frames with gaps between frame and wall and fire stopping disturbed by later work.
In a smaller place like Beeswing, commercial jobs are more likely to be a hotel, guest house, school, surgery or community hall than an office block. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Beeswing and everywhere else we cover.

Questions from Beeswing
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Beeswing?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own 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 carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Is Beeswing in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Beeswing is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it will not last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Is it messy?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
What we can’t put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
If you are not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

What else we do in Beeswing
How we quote for fire rated sealant
You’ll get a clear quote before work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Access and height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The product the joint needs
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- If someone has resealed it before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the property is
- The problem you’ve noticed
We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Outside jobs in Beeswing 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. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any tricky access
Ask for a quote
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you’re ready, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Leave it or put it right?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Beeswing?
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.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
In and around Beeswing, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
