How we handle fire rated sealant in Burnbrae
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. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. Typical jobs include fire seals that have cracked with movement and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers, on flats & HMOs, plasterboard & masonry and linear gaps.
Work in a place like Burnbrae is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
Landlord and commercial work in Burnbrae
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Burnbrae
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, especially where it was squeezed in at the end of a project.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
Rented homes near Shotts station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Questions from Burnbrae
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their 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 do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Will you come out to Burnbrae?
Yes, Burnbrae is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Burnbrae and the rest of North Lanarkshire.

What sealant work cannot fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
