Brocketsbrae Fire Rated Sealant
Problem with your fire-stopping gaps in Brocketsbrae? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes and the list grows.

Brocketsbrae: your questions answered
Is Brocketsbrae within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Brocketsbrae?
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 don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
That is not 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.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

When something else is needed
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before we start. Sealant won’t put right:
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.

How the job changes by surface
Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We work along the whole run so there are no open sections left.
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before any work starts so residents know what to expect.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Around Brocketsbrae, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

What fire rated sealant looks like in Brocketsbrae
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.
For buildings such as Lesmahagow Old Parish Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Schools such as Lesmahagow High School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
