Fire rated sealant in Innis nan Lìon, 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. If you are dealing with gaps left after a refit or conversion and linear gaps at the head of walls, we can put it right, on plasterboard & masonry, flats & HMOs and door frames alike.
Commercial work around smaller Scottish places tends to mean hotels, guest houses, schools and halls rather than offices. All of them have washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints that need looking after.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the job gets bigger.
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

For landlords and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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 is not the sealant
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before booking.

Questions from Innis nan Lìon
Will you come out to Innis nan Lìon?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
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 is 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.
What does intumescent mean?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product, installed to its details.
Can tenants book the work?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. We record the locations we have sealed and the products used to keep with your fire safety documents.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Surface 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 so the sealant bonds.
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
