How the job changes by surface
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details before the trim goes back.
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.
What affects the quote in Kirkfieldbank
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Which sealant suits the joint
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- If someone has resealed it before
- The address or postcode of the job
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Kirkfieldbank
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It may look fine, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
Community buildings like Kirkfieldbank Parish Church are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
Questions to ask before you book
- How hidden problems are handled
- What product goes in the joint
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
Questions from Kirkfieldbank
Do you work for landlords with property near Lanark station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Kirkfieldbank?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant has to go in to the product’s tested details, and we follow them. We don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and giving you a record of where it went.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
When it is not the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Outdoor work around Kirkfieldbank depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- 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.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and get them seen to.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is normally a straightforward job.
