Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- 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.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Crewe Toll
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we follow the tested detail for each one. We work on door frames, plasterboard & masonry and linear gaps, and people most often call us about old fire sealant that has split or come away and fire stopping disturbed by later work.
In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. For buildings in Crewe Toll, fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and washroom and kitchen sealant is chosen for heavy use.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Crewe Toll: your questions answered
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
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’s 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.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Haymarket station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam is not tested as fire stopping. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Do you come to Crewe Toll?
Yes, we do. Our applicators work in Crewe Toll, and the service is the same as everywhere else.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. In Crewe Toll, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.

What sealant work can’t fix

Where we work in Crewe Toll
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
- Door frames
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
Different surfaces, different methods
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist.
Linear gaps
Linear gaps run along the head of walls, at floor edges and between panels. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
Why act early in Crewe Toll
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. In a tenement flat in Crewe Toll, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
