About our fire rated sealant in Dumbreck
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. We are often asked to deal with joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and new service routes left unsealed after building work, on flats & HMOs, plasterboard & masonry and linear gaps.
In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. In Dumbreck, as anywhere, fire-rated sealant goes in to the product’s tested details and washroom sealant is chosen to cope with heavy use.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Dumbreck as everywhere else we work.

How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. It generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. For a tenement in Dumbreck, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

How the job changes 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.
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We measure the gap at its widest point to make sure it suits the product.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the job gets bigger.
When to call us in Dumbreck
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust won’t perform as it was tested. Rushed fire stopping is common.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
For buildings such as Sherbrooke St Gilbert's Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Dumbreck: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Dumbreck station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Dumbreck?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam is not tested as fire stopping. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
Do you work in Dumbreck?
Yes. We’re based in Crawley and work across South East England, London and Scotland, Dumbreck included.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. We will tell you when we quote.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, wherever you are.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
