About our fire rated sealant in An Luirg
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. We work on door frames, pipe & cable gaps and plasterboard & masonry, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall.
In a smaller place like An Luirg, commercial jobs are more likely to be a hotel, guest house, school, surgery or community hall than an office block. All of them have washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints that need looking after.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and get them seen to.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record so the item can be closed.
When to call us in An Luirg
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
Look out for any of the following:
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
Around An Luirg, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

The process
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. It usually takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Outside jobs in An Luirg need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Clear the area around the work

Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, so both the product and the method matter. In an older home around An Luirg, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

An Luirg: your questions answered
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in An Luirg?
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.
Will you come out to An Luirg?
Yes, An Luirg is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used so it’s there for the next inspection.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in An Luirg?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing and where.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
