About our fire rated sealant in West Side
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap isn’t a fire-rated seal. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. Typical jobs include old fire sealant that has split or come away and open holes round services passing through fire walls, across linear gaps, flats & HMOs and service penetrations.
In a smaller place like West Side, commercial jobs are more likely to be a hotel, guest house, school, surgery or community hall than an office block. All of them have washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints that need looking after.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in West Side
Will you come out to West Side?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is West Side in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, West Side is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in West Side?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing and where.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. Occupied flats, HMOs, offices and schools are all fine and we plan access around the people using them. Out-of-hours work can be arranged if that suits the building.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.

- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.

Advice
Do you need fire rated sealant in West Side?
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
In and around West Side, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
Why deal with it now?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand isn’t fire stopping. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. In a place like West Side, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
