Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Parkhouse
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, with each location and product recorded. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. We’re often asked to deal with ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and holes left by a change of layout, across door frames, service penetrations and plasterboard & masonry.
Commercial work around smaller Scottish places tends to mean hotels, guest houses, schools and halls rather than offices. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

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. Around Parkhouse, 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.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.

What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. It usually takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Outside jobs in Parkhouse need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Parkhouse
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Parkhouse?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Whatever the rules, fire-rated sealant has to be installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and that’s 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.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Ashfield station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we’ll quote it together.
Do you come to Parkhouse?

Can I choose the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How much there is to do
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many areas need sealing
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Where the property is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
Need a quote? Please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the job. We’ll explain what we’d do and give you a clear price before work begins.
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

When something else is needed
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
Any fire seal that’s cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.
