What we do, step by step
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a place like Cultercullen, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Before we arrive

Fire rated sealant in Cultercullen, done properly
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; in a fire it expands into the joint. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through. We work on linear gaps, plasterboard & masonry and pipe & cable gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and fire stopping disturbed by later work.
In a smaller place like Cultercullen, commercial jobs are more likely to be a hotel, guest house, school, surgery or community hall than an office block. All of them have washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints that need looking after.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Cultercullen
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it isn’t installed as tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried particularly when it was the last job before handover.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Open gaps behind door architraves
Around Cultercullen, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

When something else is needed
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Linear gaps
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Any fire seal that is 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.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is normally a straightforward job.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Cultercullen
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Cultercullen?
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 don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Is Cultercullen in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Cultercullen is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
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.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Standard sealants are not made or tested to stop fire. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. We regularly work in flats, HMOs, schools and offices while they’re in use. Out-of-hours work can be arranged if that suits the building.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we will ask.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What happens if it’s left?
Sealant is not the fix for every opening. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. 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.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
