Fire rated sealant in Gateside, done properly
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. If you have fire seals that have cracked with movement and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For holiday lets, guest houses and community buildings in or near Gateside, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is normally a straightforward job.
How it works
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access for a typical job. Outdoor work around Gateside depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Gateside questions
Do you cover smaller places like Gateside?
Yes. Gateside is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Glengarnock 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’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. We agree access and the order of work with you first.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. We record the locations we’ve sealed and the products used to keep with your fire safety documents.
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Gateside?
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It may look fine, but it is not a fire-rated seal.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall

In and around Gateside, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
