About our fire rated sealant in Newlandsmuir
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk doesn’t make it fire-rated. We cut out the wrong material and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. If you have standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant, we can put it right, on service penetrations, plasterboard & masonry and door frames alike.
Work in a place like Newlandsmuir is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

FAQs for Newlandsmuir
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Newlandsmuir?
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 do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Do you cover smaller places like Newlandsmuir?
Yes. Newlandsmuir is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one option among several. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
Surface by surface
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist, and we’ll say if we spot a problem with them.
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We seal them along their full length leaving no stretch unsealed.
What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find 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.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so you can show it was dealt with.
Common problems we fix in Newlandsmuir
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
Schools such as Duncanrig Secondary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
You’ll get a clear quote before we start. It’s based on:
- The amount of work
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many areas need sealing
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are unsure, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The rough size of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll talk you through the work.
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Outside jobs in Newlandsmuir need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- 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.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any parking rules near the property
