How we handle fire rated sealant in New Leeds
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it. We work on service penetrations, door frames and linear gaps, and people most often call us about gaps left after a refit or conversion and damaged fire sealant left by other trades.
For a place like New Leeds, the journey and timings are planned in advance, so the job can fit around guests, residents or opening hours where possible.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

New Leeds questions
Do you cover New Leeds for fire rated sealant?
Yes, New Leeds is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in New Leeds?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own 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.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. That is for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. If you need photos or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one option among several. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. Our work is the gap around the frame, and we will mention anything we notice about the door.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Workplaces and buildings in New Leeds
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, though we do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
For buildings such as Church and Manse, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

The process
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building and we leave things clean and tidy. For a place like New Leeds, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
When to call us in New Leeds
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It may look fine, but it is not a fire-rated seal.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
Around New Leeds, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Before you book anyone
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
What we cannot put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
- Plasterboard & masonry
Why act early in New Leeds
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. In a place like New Leeds, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
