Gladsmuir Fire Rated Sealant
Fire rated sealant across Gladsmuir and nearby, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a 12-month guarantee.
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Do not 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.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Gladsmuir
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. We work on pipe & cable gaps, door frames and linear gaps, and the jobs we see most are open joints along the top of partitions and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers.
In a smaller place like Gladsmuir, commercial jobs are more likely to be a hotel, guest house, school, surgery or community hall than an office block. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Lothian.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Any mould that needs treating
- The product the joint needs
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The rough size of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
For fire rated sealant in Gladsmuir, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and we will agree the price before any work begins.
For landlords and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Gladsmuir and across East Lothian. Several sites can be quoted together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Outdoor work around Gladsmuir depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- 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.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property

FAQs for Gladsmuir
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Gladsmuir?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Whatever the rules, fire-rated sealant has to be installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and that’s how we fit it. 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.
Will you come out to Gladsmuir?
Yes. Gladsmuir 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.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we will agree it with you first.
Where do you work from?
We are based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. That’s for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Tell us how the building is used and we will plan around it.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in, so you have it on file.
What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
Leave it or put it right?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Getting them done and written up gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. In an older home around Gladsmuir, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
