How we handle fire rated sealant in Hogaland
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor. If you share the list, we can quote for the gaps that need fire-rated sealant. We’re often asked to deal with open joints along the top of partitions and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls, on pipe & cable gaps, plasterboard & masonry and door frames.
For a place like Hogaland, the journey and timings are planned in advance, so the job can fit around guests, residents or opening hours where possible.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
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, then guaranteed for a year.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. We clean out dust and debris before sealing.
Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We work along the whole run so there are no open sections left.
Leave it or put it right?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. Around Hogaland, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.

FAQs for Hogaland
Do you cover smaller places like Hogaland?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you cover Hogaland for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Hogaland is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No, assessment isn’t something we do. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We don’t issue ratings or certificates ourselves. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves; we install to those details and record what we did.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
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.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on. The job usually takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What we’re called out for in Hogaland
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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
In and around Hogaland, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Workplaces and buildings in Hogaland
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Hogaland, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. Work on the islands has to be planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so give us as much notice as you can.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Ollaberry Church and Churchyard with Monument, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
