Surface by surface
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes aren’t treated the same. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each and we flag any that need another system.
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We measure the gap at its widest point against the product’s tested range.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
Questions from Newmarket
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Newmarket?
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 do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Do you take on hotel work around Newmarket?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We do not certify fire stopping or quote ratings. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and giving you a record of where it went.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant, to the product’s details. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.

We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can carry on as normal.

What we’re called out for in Newmarket
Over time, buildings change layout and use. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
For jobs in and around Newmarket, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Commercial buildings in Newmarket
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Newmarket, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. Work on the islands has to be planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so give us as much notice as you can.
Around Newmarket, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Newmarket is about 1 mile north of Stornoway, in Na h-Eileanan Siar. Whether you are in the middle of Newmarket or further out, we cover fire rated sealant for every kind of property, from flats and houses to offices and hotels. Newmarket is one of 87 places in Na h-Eileanan Siar we cover for fire rated sealant.

Whether your property is on Bakers Road and Riverview or anywhere close by, our applicators can take on the job. Being close to the A857, Newmarket is simple for us to get to. Nearby, we also carry out fire rated sealant in Laxdale (1 mile south), Stornoway (1 mile south), Steinis (2 miles south-east), Plasterfield (2 miles south-east) and Tong (2 miles north-east).

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

Why deal with it now?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Around Newmarket, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
