Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Take pictures 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.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
Fire rated sealant in Seafield
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk doesn’t make it fire-rated. We cut out the wrong material and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. We are often asked to deal with gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap, on door frames, service penetrations and linear gaps.
Commercial work around smaller Scottish places tends to mean hotels, guest houses, schools and halls rather than offices. All of them have washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints that need looking after.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Seafield: your questions answered
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Seafield?
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 do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Do you work for landlords with property near West Calder station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Seafield?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Outside jobs in Seafield need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- 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.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Flats & HMOs
How the job changes by surface
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance.
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement from the manufacturer’s details.
Common problems we fix in Seafield
Door frames are a common weak spot. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
Look out for any of the following:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
Letting a property close to West Calder station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
