Fire rated sealant in Stoneyburn, done properly
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk does not make it fire-rated. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. Typical jobs include gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and open holes round services passing through fire walls, on flats & HMOs, plasterboard & masonry and linear gaps.
In a smaller place like Stoneyburn, commercial jobs are more likely to be a hotel, guest house, school, surgery or community hall than an office block. 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.

What we’re called out for in Stoneyburn
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It looks sealed, but it is not fire-rated.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
For landlords with property near Addiewell station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Outdoor work around Stoneyburn depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Advice
Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
If you manage several properties in or around Stoneyburn, several properties can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and photos by email help.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Why it’s worth doing now in Stoneyburn
For some gaps, sealant is not the right answer and another system is needed. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. If a gap isn’t suitable for sealant, we will tell you. In a place like Stoneyburn, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Stoneyburn
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Addiewell station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Stoneyburn?
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.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
What does intumescent mean?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant, and the choice depends on the gap.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Other services in Stoneyburn
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
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.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is normally a straightforward job.
Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
