Carnwadric: your questions answered
Do you cover Carnwadric for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Carnwadric is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Kennishead station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, wherever you are.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. Occupied flats, HMOs, offices and schools are all fine and we plan access around the people using them. Early starts or out-of-hours work can be arranged.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
About our fire rated sealant in Carnwadric
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap isn’t a fire-rated seal. We cut out the wrong material and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. We work on flats & HMOs, pipe & cable gaps and door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and fire stopping disturbed by later work.
In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. For buildings in Carnwadric, fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and washroom and kitchen sealant is chosen for heavy use.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The process
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a tenement in Carnwadric, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. Tell us which applies when you book.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Why it’s worth doing now in Carnwadric
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Tidy, careful work

What else we do in Carnwadric
Landlord and commercial work in Carnwadric
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint, so ask us which we used.
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.

Joints and surfaces we work on

- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames

- Plasterboard & masonry
What the job involves on each surface
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement.
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes aren’t treated the same. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail.
