What we are called out for in Ravenscraig
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.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
If you look after a building such as Our Lady's High School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Ravenscraig questions
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Ravenscraig?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own 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 carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Do you work for landlords with property near Shieldmuir station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. We will tell you when we quote.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
Leave it or put it right?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. Work that does not follow the tested detail may have to come out again when the building is next checked. Around Ravenscraig, 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.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

When it is not the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
