Common questions in Burghead
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Burghead?
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 carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Is Burghead within the area you cover?
Yes. Burghead is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Burghead?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. That’s for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. The old sealant always comes out first.
Fire rated sealant in Burghead, done properly
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. We work on service penetrations, plasterboard & masonry and door frames, and people most often call us about unsealed gaps around fire door frames and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs.
Commercial work around smaller Scottish places tends to mean hotels, guest houses, schools and halls rather than offices. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
