We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor. Send us the list or the survey and we will quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. We work on plasterboard & masonry, flats & HMOs and pipe & cable gaps, and the jobs we see most are open gaps behind door architraves and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey.
For a place like Drakemyre, the journey and timings are planned in advance, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.

Fire rated sealant in Drakemyre: local notes
In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details; we don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
If you let a flat or house near Dalry station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it before the sealant goes in.
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.
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we seal
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Door frames
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
Why deal with it now?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own that doesn’t depend on other work. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Why book with us
- Full insurance on every job
- Tidy, careful work
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels

Do you need fire rated sealant in Drakemyre?
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service isn’t always sealed again.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
For buildings such as Trinity Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
Questions to ask before you book
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether they’re fully insured
Drakemyre questions
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. 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.
Do you cover smaller places like Drakemyre?
Yes, Drakemyre is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
Ratings and certificates are not something we issue. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves; we install to those details and record what we did.
How it works
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access in most cases. Somewhere like Drakemyre may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear the area around the work
