How we handle fire rated sealant in Whauphill
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. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. If you have fire seals that have cracked with movement and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For a place like Whauphill, the journey and timings are planned in advance, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Common problems we fix in Whauphill
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
People generally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
For jobs in and around Whauphill, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Leave it or put it right?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. On its own, sealing it now is a small job and needn’t wait for anything else. 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.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
Why book with us
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- We are fully insured
- 20+ years of sealant experience

Different surfaces, different methods
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We work along the whole run so there are no open sections left.
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
