What we’re called out for in Lionel
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
Look out for these signs:
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
Managing a site like Lionel School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the cure time is
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What preparation is included
- Whether VAT is included
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Lionel
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. If you have door frames with gaps between frame and wall and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, we can help.
Work in a place like Lionel is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around guests, residents or opening hours where possible.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Lionel as everywhere else we work.

What the job involves on each surface
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified, flat by flat if needed.
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. The gap is cleaned and backed where required.
What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, and we explain the cure time before we leave. For a place like Lionel, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Leave it or put it right?
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the work involved is often modest. 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.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Fire rated sealant around Lionel
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Lionel, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. Work on the islands has to be planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so the more notice, the better.
Around Lionel, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Honest limits
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before booking.
