How we handle fire rated sealant in Cunningsburgh
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. We work on flats & HMOs, door frames and pipe & cable gaps, and people most often call us about unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and unsealed gaps around fire door frames.
In a smaller place like Cunningsburgh, commercial jobs are more likely to be a hotel, guest house, school, surgery or community hall than an office block. All of them have washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints that need looking after.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Cunningsburgh as everywhere else we work.

FAQs for Cunningsburgh
Is Cunningsburgh in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Cunningsburgh is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own technical handbooks. Whatever the rules, fire-rated sealant has to be installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and that is 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.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used so it’s there for the next inspection.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Cunningsburgh, along with the rest of our area.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Access and height
- The amount of work
- Which sealant suits the joint
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 we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- If someone has resealed it before
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work and send you a clear quote.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Cunningsburgh
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
In and around Cunningsburgh, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
What happens on the day
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building from start to finish. 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, and the visit is planned around that.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Workplaces and buildings in Cunningsburgh
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Cunningsburgh, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details; we do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
Whether the job is in Cunningsburgh itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
