Your questions about fire rated sealant in Alloa
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Alloa?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant has to go in to the product’s tested details, and we follow them. We do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Do you take on hotel work around Alloa?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Alloa?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
That isn’t something we state or certify. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it with a record of each location.
When to call us in Alloa
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Alloa North Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
What your quote should include
- How hidden problems are handled
- Who turns up on the day
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether you can choose the colour
How the visit works

- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

What happens if it’s left?
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. For landlords in Alloa, damp and leaks can fall under the Repairing Standard. Replacing failed sealant early is simpler than dealing with a complaint.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Why us?
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- 20+ years of sealant experience
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:

- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
