Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
About our fire rated sealant in Stonehouse
Landlords, managing agents and facilities teams use us for the sealant items on a fire risk assessment for buildings in Stonehouse. If you share the list, we can quote for the gaps that need fire-rated sealant. If you are dealing with open holes round services passing through fire walls and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers, we can help.
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.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether the work is at height
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any mould that needs treating
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- How we’d reach the joints
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that is easy.
When it isn’t the sealant
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Stonehouse
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Stonehouse?
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 do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Is Stonehouse within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.
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.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before work begins.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.

What else we do in Stonehouse
Surface by surface
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes aren’t treated the same. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each and we flag any that need another system.
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance to keep disruption down.
Workplaces and buildings in Stonehouse
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details; we do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
For buildings such as Stonehouse Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Rented homes near Larkhall station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the list grows.
What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, including the tidy-up. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
