If you have open gaps behind door architraves and holes left by a change of layout, we can put it right.

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
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.
Leave it or put it right?
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 an older home around Anstruther, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
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, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details, though we do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Anstruther United Presbyterian Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal.

- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- 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.

Anstruther questions
Is Anstruther within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Anstruther?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant has to go in to the product’s tested details, and we follow them. 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.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one option among several. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Anstruther
Much fire stopping is hidden: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
Look out for any of the following:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
Managing a site like Waid Academy? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
