Surface by surface
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details before the trim goes back.
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. We clean out dust and debris before sealing so the sealant bonds.
About our fire rated sealant in Cluny
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That detail is what we take care over, one gap at a time. We’re often asked to deal with standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, on service penetrations, plasterboard & masonry and pipe & cable gaps.
For a place like Cluny, the journey and timings are planned in advance, so the job can fit around guests, residents or opening hours where possible.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so you can show it was dealt with.

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
When it is not the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Outside jobs in Cluny need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Cluny
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
If you let a flat or house near Cardenden station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
What your quote should include
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Cluny
Is Cluny within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Cardenden station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. Our work is the gap around the frame, and we will mention anything we notice about the door.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All our work carries our one-year guarantee.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam is not tested as fire stopping. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
