Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Memsie
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That detail is what we take care over, gap by gap. We work on service penetrations, flats & HMOs and door frames, and the jobs we see most are open joints along the top of partitions and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed.
For a place like Memsie, the journey and timings are planned in advance, so the job can fit around guests, residents or opening hours where possible.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Memsie as everywhere else we work.

Common questions in Memsie
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Memsie?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their 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.
Is Memsie in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Memsie is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before work begins.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can tenants book the work?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
How the job changes by surface
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.
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.

Why it’s worth doing now in Memsie
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest doesn’t make a fire seal. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, so both the product and the method matter. In a place like Memsie, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
