Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both.
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified room by room.

Why act early in Clachan Seil
Sealant isn’t the fix for every opening. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We will say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll talk you through it.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record so you can show it was dealt with.

Questions from Clachan Seil
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Clachan Seil?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant has to go in to the product’s tested details, and we follow them. We don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Is Clachan Seil within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one of the options. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We do not give ratings or certificates for our work. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it with a record of each location.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
