Fire rated sealant in Gretna Green
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. If you’re dealing with old fire sealant that has split or come away and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed, we can help, on flats & HMOs, door frames and pipe & cable gaps alike.
Work in a place like Gretna Green is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Questions from Gretna Green
Do you work in hotels near Gretna Green?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
I let a flat near Gretna Green station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used, so you have it on file.
What information do you need?
Tell us what needs doing and where. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use, installed to its details.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
How the job changes by surface
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist, and we’ll say if we spot a problem with them.
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance so residents know what to expect.
