How the visit works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access from start to finish. Outdoor work around Waterloo depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Advice
About our fire rated sealant in Waterloo
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That detail is what we take care over. We work on door frames, flats & HMOs and linear gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and open joints along the top of partitions.
If you look after holiday lets, a guest house or a community building in or near Waterloo, the washrooms and kitchens need the same care as any city building, and fire-rated joints should be kept in good order.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Waterloo and everywhere else we cover.

What else we do in Waterloo
Common problems we fix in Waterloo
Gaps also open up as buildings move: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
Letting a property close to Wishaw station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Common questions in Waterloo
Do you work for landlords with property near Wishaw station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Waterloo?
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 don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use.
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. Tell us how the building is used and we’ll plan around it.
Do you come to Waterloo?
Yes. From our base in Crawley, we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland, Waterloo included.
What does intumescent mean?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant and which one is used depends on the job.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we are fully insured.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- The product the joint needs
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Access and height
- The number of rooms or windows
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 play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Roughly how big the job is
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you’re ready, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
Why deal with it now?
Sealant is not the fix for every opening. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We’ll say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Around Waterloo, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

How the job changes by surface
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We check the gap size around the service to make sure it suits the product.
For landlords and businesses
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Commercial buildings in Waterloo
In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details; we don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
Managing a site like St Aidan's High School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Community buildings like Overtown Parish Church are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
