Fire rated sealant in Wattston, done properly
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. We work on plasterboard & masonry, pipe & cable gaps and service penetrations, and common reasons people get in touch are linear gaps at the head of walls and open holes round services passing through fire walls.
Work in a place like Wattston is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around guests, residents or opening hours where possible.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, including the tidy-up. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

How we quote for fire rated sealant

What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- The problem you’ve noticed
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job and send pictures if you have them.
What happens if it’s left?
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. 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.
A few things move the cost up or down: 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.

Questions from Wattston
Do you work for landlords with property near Greenfaulds station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Is Wattston within the area you cover?
Yes. Wattston is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used to keep with your fire safety documents.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Standard sealants are not made or tested to stop fire. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
What does intumescent mean?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Wattston
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It may look fine, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal.
Look out for these signs:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
If you look after a building such as Airdrie Academy, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
What to look for in a quote
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How long the guarantee is
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
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.
