About our fire rated sealant in Comrie
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. 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. We work on flats & HMOs, pipe & cable gaps and door frames, and people most often call us about unsealed gaps around fire door frames and open holes round services passing through fire walls.
If you look after holiday lets, a guest house or a community building in or near Comrie, the washrooms and kitchens need the same care as any city building, and fire-rated joints should be kept in good order.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Comrie questions
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 carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Do you cover smaller places like Comrie?
Yes, Comrie is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. All our work carries a one-year guarantee.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
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.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.
What else we do in Comrie
What happens on the day
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. For a place like Comrie, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.

- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Preparing for the visit

Related advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. We clean out dust and debris before sealing.
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified room by room.
Leave it or put it right?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. Around Comrie, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What you get with us
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Fully insured
- We never seal over old sealant
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet

- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
