About our fire rated sealant in Newton of Falkland
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, and we can record what went where. If you’re dealing with ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and linear gaps at the head of walls, we can help, whatever the surface.
Work in a place like Newton of Falkland is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around guests, residents or opening hours where possible.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so you can show it was dealt with.
Why it’s worth doing now in Newton of Falkland
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest doesn’t make a fire seal. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, so both the product and the method matter. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

Questions from Newton of Falkland
I let a flat near Ladybank station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Newton of Falkland?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. We cover Newton of Falkland and the rest of Fife.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used, so you have it on file.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Can you match the sealant colour?
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.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Surface by surface
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard for each gap size.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Newton of Falkland?
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Open gaps behind door architraves
Around Newton of Falkland, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Around Newton of Falkland, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
