Hatton of Fintray: your questions answered
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Hatton of Fintray?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own technical handbooks. Whatever the rules, fire-rated sealant has to be installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and that’s how we fit it. 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.
Do you cover smaller places like Hatton of Fintray?
Yes. Hatton of Fintray is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. All our work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and list the locations and products for you.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we’re fully insured.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The process
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are in most cases. Outside jobs in Hatton of Fintray need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Hatton of Fintray
Door frames are a common weak spot. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
Look out for any of the following:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
For buildings such as Old Parish Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why

What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. The gap is cleaned and backed where required before the sealant goes in.
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement from the manufacturer’s details.
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hatton of Fintray
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
When something else is needed
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
