When to call us in Hartwood
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It looks sealed, but it is not fire-rated.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
Around Hartwood, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What your quote should include
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How long to leave it before use
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Hartwood
In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, though we don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
Letting a property close to Hartwood station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. For a place like Hartwood, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

How the job changes by surface
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We measure the gap at its widest point against the product’s tested range.

Hartwood: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Hartwood station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Hartwood?
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 don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Should I try DIY first?
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.
What information do you need?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we will ask.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
What fire rating will the seal have?
Ratings and certificates aren’t something we issue. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer, and we install to them.
