Your questions about fire rated sealant in Clerkhill
Will you come out to Clerkhill?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Clerkhill?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Clerkhill
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap isn’t a fire-rated seal. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. We are often asked to deal with gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and holes left by a change of layout, across service penetrations, pipe & cable gaps and plasterboard & masonry.
For holiday lets, guest houses and community buildings in or near Clerkhill, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Clerkhill as everywhere else we work.

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can go on one quote, and we are fully insured for the work.

Common problems we fix in Clerkhill
Much fire stopping is hidden: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
For jobs in and around Clerkhill, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

What we can’t put right
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It won’t solve:
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations
Surface by surface
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We work through the gaps on your assessment room by room.
