Fire rated sealant in Portskerra
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. If you have holes left by a change of layout and open joints along the top of partitions, we can help.
In a smaller place like Portskerra, commercial jobs are more likely to be a hotel, guest house, school, surgery or community hall than an office block. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Portskerra
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The type of sealant required
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re unsure, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

The process
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are for a typical job. Somewhere like Portskerra 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.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- 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.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Do not drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is usually a straightforward job.
Leave it or put it right?
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Getting them done and written up means you can show the action was taken. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will talk you through it.

FAQs for Portskerra
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Portskerra?
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 do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Will you come out to Portskerra?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What fire rating will the seal have?
Ratings and certificates are not something we issue. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves, and we install to them.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. We work in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other commercial buildings, including occupied ones. We agree access and the order of work with you first.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No, assessment is not something we do. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we’ll quote for the sealant work on it.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Portskerra, along with the rest of our area.
How the job changes by surface
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail and we will flag it.
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. We clean out dust and debris before sealing so the seal has something sound to bond to.
What we are called out for in Portskerra
Door frames are a common weak spot. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
In and around Portskerra, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
