Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. Typical jobs include cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, on service penetrations, linear gaps and pipe & cable gaps.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- The product the joint needs
- The number and length of the joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
- When we can work, for business premises
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Advice
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Cannich
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it is not installed as tested. Rushed fire stopping is common particularly when it was the last job before handover.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
Around Cannich, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- The length of the guarantee
- Are they insured?
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
Commercial buildings in Cannich
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details, though we don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
Community buildings like Our Lady and St Bean's Rc Chapel are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
Flats and HMOs
Conversions usually leave a mix of old and new service holes. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product and record where they are.
When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on

Cannich: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Cannich?

How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Cannich?
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.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Where do you work from?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot to help seal the gap. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
