Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, and we can record what went where. We are often asked to deal with open gaps behind door architraves and holes left by a change of layout, on linear gaps, door frames and service penetrations.
Work in a place like Newton Wamphray is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around guests, residents or opening hours where possible.

Leave it or put it right?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now means you can show the action was taken. 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.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Questions from Newton Wamphray
Will you come out to Newton Wamphray?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Newton Wamphray?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own technical handbooks. Whatever the rules, fire-rated sealant has to be installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and that is how we fit it. We don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Can tenants book the work?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It might close the gap, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal. A tested fire-rated product is needed, or ask us to do it.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we are fully insured too.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Newton Wamphray?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. It generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Newton Wamphray may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- 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 files.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

When it is not the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Flats & HMOs
How the job changes by surface
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. We use a product tested in that kind of wall for the gap we are sealing.
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes are not treated the same. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail and we flag any that need another system.
What we are called out for in Newton Wamphray
Door frames are a common weak spot. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
People normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
Around Newton Wamphray, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
