Leave it or put it right?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest doesn’t make a fire seal. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, so both the product and the method matter. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.

Fire rated sealant in Boarhills
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’s the part we focus on, one gap at a time. If you have damaged fire sealant left by other trades and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, we can put it right.
In a smaller place like Boarhills, 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 comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Boarhills
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- The number and length of the joints
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The type of sealant required
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you’re ready, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations

Questions from Boarhills
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Boarhills?
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 don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Boarhills?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Boarhills is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Where are you based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product, to the product’s details. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. It looks sealed but won’t perform as fire stopping. A tested fire-rated product is needed.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record so you can show it was dealt with.
