Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record so you can show it was dealt with.
How the visit works
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Outdoor work around Chartershall depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- 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.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Questions from Chartershall
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Chartershall?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Whatever the rules, fire-rated sealant has to be installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and that is 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.
I let a flat near Stirling station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Leave it or put it right?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing once someone inspects it. In a place like Chartershall, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
