Why it’s worth doing now in Westwoodhill
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. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Westwoodhill
Much fire stopping is hidden: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
For landlords with property near Hairmyres station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Westwoodhill
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 do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
Schools such as Duncanrig Secondary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Westwoodhill: your questions answered
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Westwoodhill?
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 is 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.
I let a flat near Hairmyres station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we’re using.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.

In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before any work starts to keep disruption down.

What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up.

Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.

- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
How to prepare
