Fire rated sealant in Elrick
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. We work on flats & HMOs, pipe & cable gaps and linear gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated.
Commercial work around smaller Scottish places tends to mean hotels, guest houses, schools and halls rather than offices. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

FAQs for Elrick
Will you come out to Elrick?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
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 don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in.
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Why it’s worth doing now in Elrick
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. 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. In an older home around Elrick, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
What you get with us
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over

What we’re called out for in Elrick
Over time, buildings change layout and use. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
Around Elrick, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Before booking anyone
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Which colour the sealant will be
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
