Fire rated sealant in Fauldhouse
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. If you are dealing with ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and door frames with gaps between frame and wall, we can put it right, on linear gaps, door frames and flats & HMOs alike.
For holiday lets, guest houses and community buildings in or near Fauldhouse, 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.

Common problems we fix in Fauldhouse
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service is not always sealed again.
Look out for these signs:
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
Around Fauldhouse, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Why deal with it now?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing once someone inspects it. In an older home around Fauldhouse, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
What it costs 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 we start, so you know where you stand.

When it isn’t the sealant

Fauldhouse: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Fauldhouse?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Fauldhouse station. Can you help?
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.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
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.
What does intumescent mean?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot, helping close the gap. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
