About our fire rated sealant in Boghead
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk does not make it fire-rated. We cut out the wrong material and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. We’re often asked to deal with fire stopping disturbed by later work and linear gaps at the head of walls, on pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and linear gaps.
For holiday lets, guest houses and community buildings in or near Boghead, the washrooms and kitchens need the same care as any city building, and fire-rated joints should be kept in good order.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Fire rated sealant around Boghead
In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details; we don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
Around Boghead, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it. If you look after a building such as Lesmahagow High School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.

Common questions in Boghead
Will you come out to Boghead?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Boghead?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Boghead is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months.
Where are you based?
We’re based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. We will tell you when we quote.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How much there is to do
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Where the property is
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Every job is quoted individually. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work in Boghead
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
What the job involves on each surface
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each and we flag any that need another system.
Door frames
Frame gaps are normally hidden behind the architrave. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size before the trim goes back.
What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Outside jobs in Boghead need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about parking restrictions
