Fire Rated Sealant in Fintry
Intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations for householders, landlords and businesses in Fintry. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
Should I try it myself first?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Fintry
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. We work on flats & HMOs, door frames and pipe & cable gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed.
For a place like Fintry, the journey and timings are planned in advance, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Questions from Fintry
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Fintry?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Whatever the rules, fire-rated sealant has to be installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and that is 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.
Will you come out to Fintry?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No, assessment is not something we do. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we will quote for the sealant work on it.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
What happens if it’s left?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again when the building is next checked. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Fintry
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details; we don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
Community buildings like Old Fintry Parish Church are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

How the job changes by surface
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist, and we’ll say if we spot a problem with them.
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before any work starts so residents know what to expect.
The process
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Outdoor work around Fintry depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.

Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and get them seen to.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Fintry
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.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
Around Fintry, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
