When to call us in Northfield
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
If you look after a building such as Northfield Academy, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
What your quote should include
- How the colour is chosen
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes.

What else we do in Northfield
What sealant work can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before booking.

For landlords and businesses
If you manage several properties in or around Northfield, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and pictures by email help.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Why deal with it now?
For some gaps, sealant is not the right answer and another system is needed. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We’ll say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in a tall building in Northfield, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before we start.

Questions from Northfield
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Northfield?
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 do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Is Northfield in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Northfield is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.
What fire rating will the seal have?
Ratings and certificates aren’t something we issue. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer, and we install to them.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Northfield?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before we start.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Roughly how big the job is
- If someone has resealed it before
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
For fire rated sealant in Northfield, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and you’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
What happens on the day
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, including the tidy-up.
