Fire Rated Sealant in Phantassie
Problem with your fire-stopping gaps in Phantassie? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Open joints along the top of partitions
What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. We clean out dust and debris before sealing so the sealant bonds.
Fire rated sealant in Phantassie, done properly
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That detail is what we take care over. If you’re dealing with unsealed gaps around fire door frames and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap, we can help, whatever the surface.
For a place like Phantassie, the journey and timings are planned in advance, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Lothian.

Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What happens if it’s left?
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. 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.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- How much there is to do
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The type of sealant required
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The type of property
- Photos by email, if that is easy
There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To get started, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.

Phantassie questions
Do you work for landlords with property near East Linton station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you cover smaller places like Phantassie?
Yes. Phantassie is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product fitted to the maker’s details.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes, whether the building is a school, an office, flats or an HMO, and whether it’s in use or not. Let us know the building’s hours and we will plan the work to suit.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in so it’s there for the next inspection.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.
How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Outside jobs in Phantassie need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
