Fire rated sealant in Millerston
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping is not our role; 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 open holes round services passing through fire walls and new service routes left unsealed after building work, we can help, whatever the surface.
If you look after holiday lets, a guest house or a community building in or near Millerston, the washrooms and kitchens need the same care as any city building, and fire-rated joints should be kept in good order.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Landlord and commercial work in Millerston
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Leave it or put it right?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. In an older home around Millerston, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Why book with us
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Tidy, careful work
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- We never seal over old sealant

Common questions in Millerston
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Millerston?
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.
I let a flat near Busby station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. Our work is the gap around the frame and we’ll tell you if we spot problems with the door.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Normally, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we will agree it with you first.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. If you need pictures or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
What to tell us for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll talk you through the work before giving you a price.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record so you can show it was dealt with.
DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Millerston
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Belmont House School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
