How we handle fire rated sealant in Crossroads
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. Typical jobs include unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment, across plasterboard & masonry, linear gaps and service penetrations.
For holiday lets, guest houses and community buildings in or near Crossroads, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.

How it works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. 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. Around Crossroads, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

- The type of property
- A few photos by email, if you can
- The rough size of the job
- Where the property is
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
What else we do in Crossroads
Surface by surface
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. We use a product tested in that kind of wall for the gap we are sealing.
FAQs for Crossroads
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 do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Do you cover smaller places like Crossroads?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can tenants book the work?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we will quote it together.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
