How we handle fire rated sealant in Hallowood
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. We are often asked to deal with gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and holes left by a change of layout, on pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and linear gaps.
In a smaller place like Hallowood, 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.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Moray.

What the job involves on each surface
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified.
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes aren’t treated the same. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each and we flag any that need another system.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Hallowood
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Hallowood?
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 don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
I let a flat near Elgin station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Bigger jobs take longer.
Do you cover Hallowood?
Yes. We cover Hallowood and the rest of Moray. For a quote, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. We work from the specification you give us and install to the manufacturer’s details.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Can I do it myself?
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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:

- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- A few photos by email, if you can
There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Why deal with it now?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. Work that does not follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. Around Hallowood, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
