We work on linear gaps, plasterboard & masonry and door frames, and the jobs we see most are new service routes left unsealed after building work and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant.

How the visit works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building from start to finish. Parking in city streets around Sighthill can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs

Why it’s worth doing now in Sighthill
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, so both the product and the method matter. For landlords in Sighthill, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What you get with us
- Over 20 years’ experience

Questions from Sighthill
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Whatever the rules, fire-rated sealant has to be installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and that is how we fit it. 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 take on hotel work around Sighthill?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we are fully insured too.
Do you cover Sighthill?
Yes. We’re based in Crawley and work across South East England, London and Scotland, and that includes Sighthill.

What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We measure the gap at its widest point against the product’s tested range.
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both from the manufacturer’s details.

What we are called out for in Sighthill
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust will not perform as it was tested. Rushed fire stopping is common particularly when it was the last job before handover.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
Rented homes near Barnhill station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
What your quote should include
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How hidden problems are handled
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
