Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.

- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
Around Hayhill, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Fire rated sealant in Hayhill
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; in a fire it expands into the joint. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through. If you have gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and fire stopping disturbed by later work, we can help, whatever the surface.
Commercial work around smaller Scottish places tends to mean hotels, guest houses, schools and halls rather than offices. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Why deal with it now?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Getting them done and written up gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on. The job generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
Fire rated sealant in Hayhill: local notes
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.
Whether the job is in Hayhill itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
FAQs for Hayhill
Do you cover Hayhill for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Hayhill is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
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 carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. We agree access and the order of work with you first.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We don’t give ratings or certificates for our work. Your specification sets the requirement, and we apply a product tested for it with a record of each location.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No, we don’t assess buildings. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we’ll quote for the sealant work on it.
What does intumescent mean?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot, helping close the gap. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. We record the locations we have sealed and the products used to keep with your fire safety documents.
