Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Shiel Bridge
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor for buildings in Shiel Bridge. Send us the list or the survey and we will quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. If you’re dealing with door frames with gaps between frame and wall and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, we can put it right.
In a smaller place like Shiel Bridge, 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.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is generally a straightforward job.

Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance so residents know what to expect.

Shiel Bridge: your questions answered
Do you work in hotels near Shiel Bridge?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Will you come out to Shiel Bridge?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. It looks sealed but won’t perform as fire stopping. Use a product tested for that gap and service.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
What does intumescent mean?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
Why it’s worth doing now in Shiel Bridge
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest doesn’t make a fire seal. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. Around Shiel Bridge, 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.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
