Questions from Lawthorn
Is Lawthorn within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
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’s 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.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Lawthorn.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the job gets bigger.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
What sealant work can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Service penetrations
- Door frames
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
When to call us in Lawthorn
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
Schools such as Irvine Royal Academy are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

How the visit works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Around Lawthorn, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. Around Lawthorn, 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.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether the work is at height
- Any working-time requirements on site
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will come back to you with a quote.
