Advice
About our fire rated sealant in Clivocast
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk does not make it fire-rated. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. If you have fire stopping disturbed by later work and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated, we can help, on plasterboard & masonry, flats & HMOs and linear gaps alike.
For a place like Clivocast, the journey and timings are planned in advance, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Clivocast: your questions answered
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Clivocast?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own 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 do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Clivocast?
Yes, Clivocast is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, including the preparation. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam isn’t tested as fire stopping. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Clivocast?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We do not certify fire stopping or quote ratings. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and list the locations and products for you.
When to call us in Clivocast
Much fire stopping is hidden: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
In and around Clivocast, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- How long the guarantee is
- Is VAT in the price?
- Which colour the sealant will be
Why deal with it now?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing once someone inspects it. 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.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

Workplaces and buildings in Clivocast
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Clivocast, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details; we don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Uyeasound Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

DIY versus a professional finish
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.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What affects the quote in Clivocast
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- When we can work, for business premises
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number of rooms or windows
- How easy the joints are to reach
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
