How we handle fire rated sealant in Edderton
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping is not our role; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. If you are dealing with damaged fire sealant left by other trades and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed, we can put it right, on plasterboard & masonry, flats & HMOs and service penetrations alike.
If you look after holiday lets, a guest house or a community building in or near Edderton, the washrooms and kitchens need the same care as any city building, and fire-rated joints should be kept in good order.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.

How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Edderton?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant has to go in to the product’s tested details, and we follow them. 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.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before any work starts.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. All our work carries our one-year guarantee.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
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.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.

The process
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work usually takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a place like Edderton, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Do you need fire rated sealant in Edderton?
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
For buildings such as Church of Scotland Parish Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
