How the job changes 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 from the manufacturer’s details.
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it before the sealant goes in.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Sandend
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. We work on plasterboard & masonry, door frames and linear gaps, and the jobs we see most are sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs.
For holiday lets, guest houses and community buildings in or near Sandend, the washrooms and kitchens need the same care as any city building, and fire-rated joints should be kept in good order.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. It usually takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Sandend 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 go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

For landlords and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Sandend?
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Open joints along the top of partitions
In and around Sandend, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether VAT is included
- What insurance they hold
- What guarantee comes with the work
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Why act early in Sandend
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again when the building is next checked. Around Sandend, 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.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

What sealant work can’t fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before you book.
