Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in North Motherwell
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. We work on door frames, flats & HMOs and pipe & cable gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant.
If you look after holiday lets, a guest house or a community building in or near North Motherwell, the washrooms and kitchens need the same care as any city building, and fire-rated joints should be kept in good order.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How much there is to do
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The type of property
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
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.
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.
Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job that doesn’t depend on other work. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Questions from North Motherwell
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in North Motherwell?
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 carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Motherwell station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Usually, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we’ll agree it with you first.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We don’t issue ratings or certificates ourselves. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
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.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in North Motherwell?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
Fire rated sealant around North Motherwell
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details; we do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
Schools such as Ladywell Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. If you let a flat or house near Motherwell station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. Community buildings like Dalziel North Parish Church are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
