The process
We bring everything the job needs with us. 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. Parking in city streets around Deaconsbank can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. If you are in a flat, let us know how we get in at the street door.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- 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.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Questions from Deaconsbank
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Patterton station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
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. Fire-rated sealant has to go in to the product’s tested details, and we follow them. We don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. All our work carries our one-year guarantee.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. Occupied flats, HMOs, offices and schools are all fine and we plan access around the people using them. Early starts or out-of-hours work can be arranged.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Should I try it myself first?
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.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Surface by surface
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both from the manufacturer’s details.
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Deaconsbank?
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
Managing a site like Eastwood High School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Deaconsbank

- Access and height

Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- If someone has resealed it before
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
Every job is quoted individually. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details and send photos if you have them.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is normally a straightforward job.
