FAQs for Springfield
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Springfield?
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’s how we fit it. We do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
I let a flat near Springfield station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We don’t give ratings or certificates for our work. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. We work from the specification you give us, and apply each product to its tested details.
Do you come to Springfield?
Yes. From our base in Crawley, we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland, and that includes Springfield.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Springfield
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly 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.
How the job changes by surface
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details so the architrave can be refitted.
Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We work along the whole run.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Springfield
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
If you look after a building such as Bell Baxter High School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
What your quote should include
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Who turns up on the day
Why act early in Springfield
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. On its own, sealing it now is a small job. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Related advice
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
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.
