About our fire rated sealant in Carfin
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor, with each location and product recorded. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. If you have standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and open holes round services passing through fire walls, we can put it right, on linear gaps, door frames and plasterboard & masonry alike.
Work in a place like Carfin is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around guests, residents or opening hours where possible.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. 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.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Carfin?
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It looks sealed, but it is not fire-rated.
People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Holes left by a change of layout
Letting a property close to Carfin station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Why deal with it now?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why Carfin clients choose us
- Tidy, careful work
- Over 20 years’ experience
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- 12-month guarantee on every job
When something else is needed
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Carfin questions
I let a flat near Carfin station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
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. Whatever the rules, fire-rated sealant has to be installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and that’s how we fit it. 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.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we are fully insured.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No, assessment isn’t something we do. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. The order of work and access are planned with you.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Carfin, along with the rest of our area.
