About our fire rated sealant in Cleghorn
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. We work on service penetrations, flats & HMOs and door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and holes left by a change of layout.
Work in a place like Cleghorn is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

What happens if it’s left?
For some gaps, sealant is not the right answer and another system is needed. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We will 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.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first.

How the job changes by surface
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before we start to keep disruption down.
Linear gaps
Linear gaps run along the head of walls, at floor edges and between panels. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Cleghorn
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Lanark Grammar School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
What your quote should include
- Are they insured?
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What the cure time is
- How much experience the applicator has

Cleghorn questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Lanark station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Cleghorn?
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.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. Our work is the gap around the frame.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. If you need photos or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam is not tested as fire stopping. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
