What we’re called out for in Strathmartine
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
Schools such as Baldragon Academy are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
Before booking anyone
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How hidden problems are handled
- What product goes in the joint
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the sealant bonds.
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
FAQs for Strathmartine
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Strathmartine?
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 is 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.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Dundee station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes, whether the building is a school, an office, flats or an HMO, and whether it’s in use or not. Let us know the building’s hours and we will plan the work to suit.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
Where do you work from?
We are based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.

How it works
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Around Strathmartine, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
