How the job changes by surface
Linear gaps
Linear gaps run along the head of walls, at floor edges and between panels. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth over any backing the detail calls for.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Brodick
We do not assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. If you have gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and damaged fire sealant left by other trades, we can help, whatever the surface.
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.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

The process
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. For a place like Brodick, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- 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.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Move anything stored near the joints

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- When we can work, for business premises
- The type of sealant required
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will talk you through it.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- The rough size of the job
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The problem you’ve noticed
Every job is quoted individually. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details, and pictures are welcome.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Door frames
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
Why deal with it now?
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

FAQs for Brodick
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Brodick?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own technical handbooks. Whatever the rules, fire-rated sealant has to be installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and that’s 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 work in hotels near Brodick?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No, assessment isn’t something we do. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we’ll quote for the sealant work on it.
Can tenants book the work?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some can’t.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the job gets bigger.
When to call us in Brodick
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
Community buildings like Parish Church are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
