Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Whitecraigs
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; in a fire it expands into the joint. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it. If you have standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey, we can put it right, on linear gaps, flats & HMOs and pipe & cable gaps alike.
In Scotland’s cities, hotels and student accommodation need sealant work done without emptying the building, so jobs in Whitecraigs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. For a tenement in Whitecraigs, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

When it isn’t the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.

Leave it or put it right?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Getting them done and written up gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in Whitecraigs, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Questions from Whitecraigs
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
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 don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Do you work for landlords with property near Whitecraigs station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. We work in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other commercial buildings, including occupied ones. We agree access and the order of work with you first.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes.
What we’re called out for in Whitecraigs
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
Managing a site like Belmont House School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.

Different surfaces, different methods
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard for each gap size.
