Fire rated sealant in Cartland, done properly
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping isn’t our role; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. If you have fire stopping disturbed by later work and gaps left after a refit or conversion, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
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.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, depending on the size of the job. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- 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.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and get them seen to.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
Questions from Cartland
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Cartland?
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 carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
I let a flat near Lanark station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.

Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.

In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in.

- Pictures of the joints, sent by email

Other services in Cartland
Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We work through the gaps on your assessment.
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Leave it or put it right?
For some gaps, sealant isn’t the right answer and another system is needed. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. If a gap is not suitable for sealant, we will tell you. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will talk you through it.
