Do you need fire rated sealant in Stoneywood?
Gaps also open up as buildings move: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Open joints along the top of partitions
Managing a site like Denny High School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

We work on pipe & cable gaps, plasterboard & masonry and service penetrations, and common reasons people get in touch are new service routes left unsealed after building work and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- How much there is to do
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many areas need sealing
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The address or postcode of the job
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
We don’t publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What else we do in Stoneywood
Why act early in Stoneywood
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Getting them done and written up means you can show the action was taken. In a place like Stoneywood, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Joints and surfaces we work on
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
Surface by surface
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard.
What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Outdoor work around Stoneywood depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Stoneywood: your questions answered
Will you come out to Stoneywood?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own 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.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It might close the gap, but it is not a fire-rated seal. A tested fire-rated product is needed, or ask us to do it.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent means it swells when heated. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.
