FAQs for Forfar
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
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 do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Is fire rated sealant in Forfar guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Forfar?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
Typically it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.

Yes. We’re based in Crawley and work across South East England, London and Scotland.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Forfar
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. We work on pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and linear gaps, and people most often call us about gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and old fire sealant that has split or come away.
If you run a hotel, guest house or care home in Forfar, room-by-room resealing can be planned around guests or residents.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Forfar and across Angus.

Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail and we flag any that need another system.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the job gets bigger.
Fire rated sealant in Forfar: 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 do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Forfar Parish Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Why deal with it now?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. If you live in a flat in Forfar, failed sealant can send water to the neighbours below, which turns a small job into a bigger one.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

What we’re called out for in Forfar
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service is not always sealed again.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
Managing a site like Forfar Academy? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
