About our fire rated sealant in Brightons
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, and we can record what went where. If you have door frames with gaps between frame and wall and fire seals that have cracked with movement, we can help, whatever the surface.
For a place like Brightons, the journey and timings are planned in advance, so the job can fit around guests, residents or opening hours where possible.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Falkirk.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Brightons
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It may look fine, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
Community buildings like Brightons Parish Church are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
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 isn’t only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

Common questions in Brightons
Do you work for landlords with property near Polmont station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you work in hotels near Brightons?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. We work from the specification you give us.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Why it’s worth doing now in Brightons
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, and we work to the product details every time. In an older home around Brightons, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Why book with us
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme

What sealant work cannot fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It won’t solve:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
