Condorrat: your questions answered
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
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 carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Do you work for landlords with property near Greenfaulds station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, wherever you are.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
What does intumescent mean?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Condorrat
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. If you have ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and holes left by a change of layout, we can help, whatever the surface.
If you look after holiday lets, a guest house or a community building in or near Condorrat, the washrooms and kitchens need the same care as any city building, and fire-rated joints should be kept in good order.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware

What we seal
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
Do you need fire rated sealant in Condorrat?
Over time, buildings change layout and use. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Greenfaulds High School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What the cure time is
Why deal with it now?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that does not follow the tested detail may have to come out again when the building is next checked. 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.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before any work starts.
