About our fire rated sealant in Comrie
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; in a fire it expands into the joint. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. We are often asked to deal with damaged fire sealant left by other trades and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, across door frames, pipe & cable gaps and plasterboard & masonry.
Commercial work around smaller Scottish places tends to mean hotels, guest houses, schools and halls rather than offices. All of them have washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints that need looking after.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, including the tidy-up. Outside jobs in Comrie need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Common questions in Comrie
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Comrie?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Comrie?
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 do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We don’t give ratings or certificates for our work. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we apply a product tested for it.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we are using.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
What affects the quote in Comrie
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The type of sealant required
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The amount of work
- How many areas need sealing
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The address or postcode of the job
- A few photos by email, if you can

Fire rated sealant in Comrie: local notes
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. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Comrie. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Community buildings like Secession Church are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Around Comrie, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Surface by surface
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist, and we will say if we spot a problem with them.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is generally a straightforward job.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Why deal with it now?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. Work that does not follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. 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.
