Common questions in Flemington
Will you come out to Flemington?
Yes, Flemington is covered. 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.
Do you work for landlords with property near Newton station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords 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.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll explain which colours are available.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Standard sealants aren’t made or tested to stop fire. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
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.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. We work from the specification you give us.
Fire rated sealant in Flemington, done properly
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That is the part we focus on, one gap at a time. If you have old fire sealant that has split or come away and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, we can help.
For a place like Flemington, the journey and timings are planned in advance, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before any work starts so residents know what to expect.
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail and we will flag it.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Flemington
In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details, though we do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
Rented homes near Newton station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

When it isn’t the sealant
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How much there is to do
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The problem you’ve noticed
- How we’d reach the joints
- The type of property
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.

Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Flemington and across South Lanarkshire. We can quote a run of properties together.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in.

Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.

Related advice
When to call us in Flemington
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
Managing a site like Rutherglen High School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record.
