Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Boreland
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. We work on flats & HMOs, plasterboard & masonry and pipe & cable gaps, and people most often call us about gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and damaged fire sealant left by other trades.
Commercial work around smaller Scottish places tends to mean hotels, guest houses, schools and halls rather than offices. All of them have washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints that need looking after.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

What affects the quote in Boreland
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- How many areas need sealing
- The product the joint needs
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number and length of the joints
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The type of property
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved and give you a clear quote.
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Boreland
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it is not installed as tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
In and around Boreland, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
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.
Questions from Boreland
Is Boreland within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Boreland for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Boreland is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. That is for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.

Why deal with it now?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own that doesn’t depend on other work. In a place like Boreland, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. The work generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Clear the area around the work
