About our fire rated sealant in Westfield
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That detail is what we take care over. We work on service penetrations, flats & HMOs and pipe & cable gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers.
If you look after holiday lets, a guest house or a community building in or near Westfield, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

What we are called out for in Westfield
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
For landlords with property near Thurso station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Questions from Westfield
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Westfield?
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.
Do you cover smaller places like Westfield?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we will quote it together.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. We regularly work in flats, HMOs, schools and offices while they’re in use. Out-of-hours work can be arranged if that suits the building.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam isn’t tested as fire stopping. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself and we’ll tell you if we spot problems with the door.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for every job we do.
What else we do in Westfield
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Linear gaps
How the job changes by surface
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail, and we will tell you.
Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We seal them along their full length.
How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Outdoor work around Westfield depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about parking restrictions
How to get a quote
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you are ready, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Advice
Why act early in Westfield
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing when the building is next checked. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
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, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can be quoted together.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
