About our fire rated sealant in Black Crofts
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That detail is what we take care over, one gap at a time. Common call-outs are for ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, across plasterboard & masonry, door frames and linear gaps.
Work in a place like Black Crofts is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Why deal with it now?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job and needn’t wait for anything else. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

When to call us in Black Crofts
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
Letting a property close to Connel Ferry station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
