Your questions about fire rated sealant in Am Blàran Odhar
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Whatever the rules, fire-rated sealant has to be installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and that is how we fit it. We do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Do you cover smaller places like Am Blàran Odhar?
Yes. Am Blàran Odhar is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Am Blàran Odhar?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. We’ll tell you when we quote.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It might close the gap, but it is not a fire-rated seal. A tested fire-rated product is needed.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, wherever you are.
Fire rated sealant in Am Blàran Odhar, done properly
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’re dealing with fire stopping disturbed by later work and old fire sealant that has split or come away, we can put it right, on pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and flats & HMOs alike.
For a place like Am Blàran Odhar, the journey and timings are planned in advance, so the job can fit around guests, residents or opening hours where possible.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What happens if it’s left?
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. In a place like Am Blàran Odhar, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, depending on the size of the job. Outside jobs in Am Blàran Odhar need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Getting ready for the visit

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is generally a straightforward job.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
