Common questions in Rankinston

Can you do fire rated sealant in Rankinston?

Yes, Rankinston is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.

Will you come out to Rankinston?

Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.

What fire rating will the seal have?

Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and giving you a record of where it went.

Is it messy?

No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.

Are you an approved applicator?

Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we are fully insured.

Can I choose the sealant colour?

Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we will agree it with you first.

Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?

No. That is for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Fire rated sealant in Rankinston

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, gap by gap. We work on service penetrations, linear gaps and flats & HMOs, and common reasons people get in touch are unsealed gaps around fire door frames and holes left by a change of layout.

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.

Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

How we quote for fire rated sealant

For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:

Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
The amount of work
Whether there’s mould to deal with
Working hours on commercial sites

Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

Helping us quote

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:

If someone has resealed it before
Where the property is
The rough size of the job
The type of property

We don’t publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Surface by surface

Linear gaps

A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both, following the tested detail.

Door frames

Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size.

How to look after the new joints

To keep the joints looking good and working properly:

Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back

Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.

Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is generally a straightforward job.

Common problems we fix in Rankinston

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.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
Old fire sealant that has split or come away
Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
New service routes left unsealed after building work

Around Rankinston, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Rankinston

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 don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.

How it works

We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, and the area is left clean. Around Rankinston, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.

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.
The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.

How to prepare

Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
