- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building

Fire rated sealant in Hillhead, done properly
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. Common call-outs are for gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated, on door frames, plasterboard & masonry and service penetrations.
For holiday lets, guest houses and community buildings in or near Hillhead, the washrooms and kitchens need the same care as any city building, and fire-rated joints should be kept in good order.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Hillhead and across South Ayrshire.

Common problems we fix in Hillhead
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust won’t perform as it was tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried particularly when it was the last job before handover.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
In and around Hillhead, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Before you book anyone

- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether VAT is included

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

Hillhead questions
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
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 Hillhead?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
What fire rating will the seal have?
Ratings and certificates are not something we issue. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer, and we install to them.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for every job we do.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
How the visit works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are in most cases. For a place like Hillhead, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
Why deal with it now?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job that doesn’t depend on other work. In an older home around Hillhead, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
