Fire Rated Sealant in Westrigg
Professional fire rated sealant in and around Westrigg, with old sealant always removed completely and a 12-month guarantee.
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and get them seen to.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Westrigg
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. We work on door frames, linear gaps and plasterboard & masonry, and people most often call us about old fire sealant that has split or come away and linear gaps at the head of walls.
In a smaller place like Westrigg, 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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

How the visit works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally 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 plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
Quotes for fire rated sealant in Westrigg
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The number and length of the joints
- How many areas need sealing
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.
Helping us quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Roughly how big the job is
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- How we’d reach the joints
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
FAQs for Westrigg
Do you work for landlords with property near Blackridge station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Westrigg?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No, assessment is not something we do. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product, to the product’s details. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Fire rated sealant in Westrigg: local notes
In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details; we do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
Rented homes near Blackridge station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Managing a site like Armadale Academy? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety

Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We work through the gaps on your assessment room by room.
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in with backing where the detail needs it.
