About our fire rated sealant in Carnbroe
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. If you’re dealing with old fire sealant that has split or come away and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For a place like Carnbroe, the journey and timings are planned in advance, so the job can fit around guests, residents or opening hours where possible.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What sealant work can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on

Questions from Carnbroe
I let a flat near Whifflet station. Can you help?

How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Carnbroe?
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.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, plus photos if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.
What does intumescent mean?
Intumescent means it swells when heated to help seal the gap. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before work begins.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We do not give ratings or certificates for our work. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we apply a product tested for it.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Do you come to Carnbroe?
Yes. From our base in Crawley, we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Carnbroe may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Other services in Carnbroe
Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in.
Flats and HMOs
Conversions generally leave a mix of old and new service holes. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product and the locations noted.
Leave it or put it right?
For some gaps, sealant isn’t the right answer and another system is needed. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. We’ll say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why us?
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Carnbroe
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
The most common problems we see are:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
Managing a site like Airdrie Academy? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
Questions to ask before you book
- What product goes in the joint
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant

You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
