Do you need fire rated sealant in New Byth?
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
The most common problems we see are:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
Around New Byth, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

- Whether all the old sealant comes out first

- Who turns up on the day
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.
Commercial buildings in New Byth
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details, though we don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
For buildings such as New Byth Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

New Byth questions
Is New Byth within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you cover New Byth for fire rated sealant?
Yes, New Byth is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product following the tested details. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
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.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can I do it myself?
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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
How the job changes by surface
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail, and tell you if sealant alone is not the right fix.
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We check the gap size around the service against the product’s tested range.
What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Outdoor work around New Byth depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
