Carnwath: your questions answered
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
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’s 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.
I let a flat near Carstairs station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and list the locations and products for you.
What does intumescent mean?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Carnwath?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.

Different surfaces, different methods
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement from the manufacturer’s details.
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. The gap is cleaned and backed where required.

When to call us in Carnwath
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
Community buildings like Parish Church are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
Before booking anyone
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether VAT is included
- What product goes in the joint
- How long to leave it before use
Why deal with it now?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, so both the product and the method matter. 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.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

How it works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Carnwath may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
