How it works
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. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Fire rated sealant in Wilton
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. We work on door frames, flats & HMOs and linear gaps, and the jobs we see most are standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and open gaps behind door architraves.
In a smaller place like Wilton, commercial jobs are more likely to be a hotel, guest house, school, surgery or community hall than an office block. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Common questions in Wilton
Do you cover Wilton for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Wilton is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Wilton?
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.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before we start.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Wilton, along with the rest of our area.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product following the tested details. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Wilton, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
When something else is needed
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before work begins. Sealant won’t put right:
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How the job changes by surface
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
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Wilton
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details, though we do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
Managing a site like Hawick High School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. For buildings such as Wilton Parish Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

What happens if it’s left?
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. 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.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
