We work on service penetrations, pipe & cable gaps and linear gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and open holes round services passing through fire walls.

What we are called out for in Halleaths
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
The most common problems we see are:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
If you let a flat or house near Lockerbie station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- The length of the guarantee
- How long to leave it before use

What else we do in Halleaths
What fire rated sealant looks like in Halleaths
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details; we do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Lochmaben Parish Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Lockerbie Academy, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Halleaths: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Lockerbie station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
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 is 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.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Usually, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. We will tell you when we quote.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Halleaths?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. If you need photos or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We seal them along their full length leaving no stretch unsealed.
What happens on the day
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are for a typical job. Outdoor work around Halleaths depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice
Why act early in Halleaths
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Around Halleaths, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

What sealant work cannot fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.
