Fire rated sealant in Craigens, done properly
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That detail is what we take care over, one gap at a time. If you have gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and open joints along the top of partitions, we can put it right, on linear gaps, service penetrations and flats & HMOs alike.
In a smaller place like Craigens, commercial jobs are more likely to be a hotel, guest house, school, surgery or community hall than an office block. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Craigens
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust won’t perform as it was tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried, especially where it was squeezed in at the end of a project.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
Managing a site like Robert Burns Academy? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Advice
Commercial buildings in Craigens
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details; we don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments. Craigens has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
For buildings such as Church of St. John, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. For landlords with property near Auchinleck station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Craigens questions
I let a flat near Auchinleck station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Is Craigens within the area you cover?
Yes. Craigens is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Craigens.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We don’t issue ratings or certificates ourselves. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer.
What does intumescent mean?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant and which one is used depends on the job.
Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before we start.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Why it’s worth doing now in Craigens
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. In a place like Craigens, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
