About our fire rated sealant in Belses
Landlords, managing agents and facilities teams use us for the sealant items on a fire risk assessment for buildings in Belses. Send us the list or the survey and we will quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. Typical jobs include ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and damaged fire sealant left by other trades, across plasterboard & masonry, flats & HMOs and door frames.
In a smaller place like Belses, 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.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in the Scottish Borders.

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 when the building is next checked. In a place like Belses, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are unsure, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. We use a product tested in that kind of wall.
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes aren’t treated the same. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail.

Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
What sealant work can’t fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.

Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.

We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
