Wallaceton questions
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant has to go in to the product’s tested details, and we follow them. We do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Will you come out to Wallaceton?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No, we do not assess buildings. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we’ll quote for the sealant work on it.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you’ll get one quote.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
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.
Fire rated sealant in Wallaceton, done properly
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor on buildings across Wallaceton. If you share the list, we can quote for the gaps that need fire-rated sealant. If you have ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, we can help, on pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and linear gaps alike.
For holiday lets, guest houses and community buildings in or near Wallaceton, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Wallaceton
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many areas need sealing
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- How we’d reach the joints
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The type of property
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you are ready, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
How it works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Wallaceton may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- 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.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us about any water getting in
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that does not follow the tested detail may have to come out again when the building is next checked. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot, so ask us which we used.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.
If you manage several properties in or around Wallaceton, several properties can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
