What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- How many areas need sealing
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The product the joint needs
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- If someone has resealed it before
- The rough size of the job
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Simply drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job and send pictures if you have them.
Fire rated sealant in Wishaw
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. We work on pipe & cable gaps, linear gaps and service penetrations, and the jobs we see most are gaps left after a refit or conversion and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated.
Building work in Scotland comes under its own regulations and technical handbooks, but whatever the building, fire-rated sealant has to be installed to the product’s tested details. For any building in Wishaw, that applies just the same.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. A visit in Wishaw needs three things planned: access, parking and where the work is. Outdoor jobs need a dry day, so they can move if the weather turns.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions

What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist and we will mention anything we notice.
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We check the gap size around the service against the product’s tested range.
Why it’s worth doing now in Wishaw
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Private landlords in a town like Wishaw must keep homes wind and watertight under the Repairing Standard. Sorting failed joints early is easier than dealing with a tenant’s complaint.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.

Common problems we fix in Wishaw
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
If you let a flat or house near Wishaw station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

FAQs for Wishaw
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Wishaw?
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’s how we fit it. We don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.

Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used to keep with your fire safety documents.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
Do you cover Wishaw?
Yes. We work in Wishaw and the rest of North Lanarkshire, as part of our work across South East England, London and Scotland. To book, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.

We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We don’t give ratings or certificates for our work. Your specification sets the requirement, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it.
