- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. We clean out dust and debris before sealing so the sealant bonds.
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each.
Fire rated sealant in Craigrothie, done properly
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it. If you have old fire sealant that has split or come away and holes left by a change of layout, we can put it right.
For a place like Craigrothie, the journey and timings are planned in advance, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Craigrothie
I let a flat near Springfield station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Craigrothie?
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 do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control, and apply each product to its tested details.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing and where.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. If you need photos or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot, helping close the gap. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
What affects the quote in Craigrothie
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The type of sealant required
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number of rooms or windows
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- The address or postcode of the job
- Roughly how big the job is
- If someone has resealed it before
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re 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 fails, we can still redo it.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Why deal with it now?
For some gaps, sealant is not the right answer and another system is needed. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. If a gap isn’t suitable for sealant, we will tell you. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record.
What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. For a place like Craigrothie, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
