How we handle fire rated sealant in Broomridge
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. We work on service penetrations, plasterboard & masonry and flats & HMOs, and the jobs we see most are cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and fire stopping disturbed by later work.
Work in a place like Broomridge is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around guests, residents or opening hours where possible.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Common problems we fix in Broomridge
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service is not always sealed again.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
Letting a property close to Stirling station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Broomridge questions
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Broomridge?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant has to go in to the product’s tested details, and we follow them. We do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Do you work for landlords with property near Stirling station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Broomridge and the rest of Stirling, along with the rest of our area.
Do you work in Broomridge?
Yes. We work in Broomridge and the rest of Stirling, as part of our work across South East England, London and Scotland. For a quote, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Door frames
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Flats & HMOs
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The amount of work
- The number of rooms or windows
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The type of property
For a quote, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the location and a short description of the problem. We’ll give you a clear quote before any work starts.
