Fire rated sealant in Burnfoot
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That’s the part we focus on. If you’re dealing with open gaps behind door architraves and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls, we can put it right.
For a place like Burnfoot, the journey and timings are planned in advance, so the job can fit around guests, residents or opening hours where possible.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Burnfoot and across North Lanarkshire.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether the work is at height
- The number of rooms or windows
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The old material and how stubborn it is
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before any work starts.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Where the property is
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- How we’d reach the joints
We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To get started, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What does fire rated sealant cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Burnfoot?
Gaps also open up as buildings move: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
If you look after a building such as Airdrie Academy, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
Before you book anyone
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How much experience the applicator has
- How long to leave it before use
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and get them seen to.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on

How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Outside jobs in Burnfoot need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
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.
