Why it’s worth doing now in Breich
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

How we handle fire rated sealant in Breich
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. We’re often asked to deal with standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, on door frames, plasterboard & masonry and pipe & cable gaps.
Commercial work around smaller Scottish places tends to mean hotels, guest houses, schools and halls rather than offices. All of them have washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints that need looking after.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Breich and everywhere else we cover.

What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. 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. For a place like Breich, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Breich
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- The number of rooms or windows
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The size of the job
- Any working-time requirements on site
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Breich
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Breich?
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 carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Do you cover smaller places like Breich?
Yes, Breich is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No, we do not assess buildings. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we’ll quote for the sealant work on it.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We don’t give ratings or certificates for our work. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we apply a product tested for it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What does intumescent mean?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant and which one is used depends on the job.
How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the sealant bonds.
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth over any backing the detail calls for.
