Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint and we’ll tell you which one you have.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is usually a straightforward job.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Chapelhall
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. We work on pipe & cable gaps, door frames and service penetrations, and common reasons people get in touch are standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and open joints along the top of partitions.
For a place like Chapelhall, the journey and timings are planned in advance, so the job can fit around guests, residents or opening hours where possible.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Chapelhall?
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It may look fine, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
Schools such as Brannock High School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
What your quote should include
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What guarantee comes with the work
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
When it is not the sealant
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on

What fire rated sealant looks like in Chapelhall
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details; we do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Aloysius Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. If you let a flat or house near Drumgelloch station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Common questions in Chapelhall
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Chapelhall?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their 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 do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Do you cover smaller places like Chapelhall?
Yes. Chapelhall is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We do not give ratings or certificates for our work. Your specification sets the requirement, and we apply a product tested for it.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
You will get a clear quote before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Whether the work is at height
- The number of rooms or windows
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- If someone has resealed it before
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand.
What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Outdoor work around Chapelhall depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
