Fire rated sealant in Innerwick, done properly
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That detail is what we take care over, one gap at a time. Typical jobs include fire stopping disturbed by later work and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated, on service penetrations, linear gaps and flats & HMOs.
If you look after holiday lets, a guest house or a community building in or near Innerwick, the washrooms and kitchens need the same care as any city building, and fire-rated joints should be kept in good order.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What sealant work cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.

Workplaces and buildings in Innerwick
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Innerwick, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details; we don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
Rented homes near Dunbar station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Community buildings like Innerwick Parish Church are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, depending on the size of the job. Outdoor work around Innerwick 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.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is generally a straightforward job.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Innerwick
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Landlords and agents in Innerwick can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Why it’s worth doing now in Innerwick
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again when the building is next checked. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.

Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.

Surface by 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.
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
