Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in The Village
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap isn’t a fire-rated seal. We cut out the wrong material and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. We work on flats & HMOs, service penetrations and pipe & cable gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs.
Work in a place like The Village is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around guests, residents or opening hours where possible.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Common problems we fix in The Village
Door frames are a common weak spot. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
Letting a property close to East Kilbride station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is chosen
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What preparation is included
The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building from start to finish. Somewhere like The Village may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky

We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Common questions in The Village
Do you cover smaller places like The Village?
Yes. The Village is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near East Kilbride station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product following the tested details. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
How long does the job take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. We will give you a better idea when we quote.

Why it’s worth doing now in The Village
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before work begins.

Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. The gap is cleaned and backed where required.
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified room by room.
What fire rated sealant looks like in The Village
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, though we do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Andrew's and St Bride's High School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
