About our fire rated sealant in Crieff
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That detail is what we take care over. We’re often asked to deal with gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and linear gaps at the head of walls, across linear gaps, service penetrations and plasterboard & masonry.
Work in a place like Crieff is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around guests, residents or opening hours where possible.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Crieff: your questions answered
Do you take on hotel work around Crieff?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work 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 Crieff?
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.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Crieff?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before work begins.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. That is for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
When to call us in Crieff
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust will not perform as it was tested. Rushed fire stopping is common, especially where it was squeezed in at the end of a project.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
Community buildings like St Michael's Hall are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Fire rated sealant in Crieff: local notes
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, though we do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments. Crieff has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Morrison's Academy, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Where we work in Crieff
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Linear gaps
What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard for the gap we’re sealing.
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
Any fire seal that’s cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
Landlord and commercial work in Crieff
Landlords and letting agents in Crieff can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.

Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are and we leave things clean and tidy. Around Crieff, distance and access matter more than parking.

- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
