Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Liquo
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 is the part we focus on, gap by gap. Common call-outs are for old fire sealant that has split or come away and holes left by a change of layout, across door frames, pipe & cable gaps and linear gaps.
For holiday lets, guest houses and community buildings in or near Liquo, the washrooms and kitchens need the same care as any city building, and fire-rated joints should be kept in good order.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
When something else is needed
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- 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
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

FAQs for Liquo
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own 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 do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
I let a flat near Hartwood station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we’ll quote it together.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
What the job involves on each surface
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement.
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it before the sealant goes in.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Outside jobs in Liquo need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us about any water getting in

When to call us in Liquo
Gaps also open up as buildings move: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
Rented homes near Hartwood station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
Comparing quotes
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
