How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it.

Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.

Related advice
Do you need fire rated sealant in Busby?
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
Managing a site like St Margaret Mary's Secondary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
What your quote should include
- How hidden problems are handled
- How much experience the applicator has
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How long the guarantee is
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number of rooms or windows
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove

A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

FAQs for Busby
Do you cover smaller places like Busby?
Yes. Busby is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant has to go in to the product’s tested details, and we follow them. We don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The product needed can limit the range.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we’ll quote it together.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
What the job involves on each surface
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We work through the gaps on your assessment.
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work in Busby

Leave it or put it right?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, and we work to the product details every time. Around Busby, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
