What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. We use a product tested in that kind of wall.
Door frames
Frame gaps are usually hidden behind the architrave. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details so the architrave can be refitted.
What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Kilmichael Glassary may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Preparing for the visit

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own that does not depend on other work. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are unsure, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Kilmichael Glassary
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details; we do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
In and around Kilmichael Glassary, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. Community buildings like Kilmichael Glassary Parish Church are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record so the item can be closed.
What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before any work starts. It won’t solve:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.

Kilmichael Glassary questions
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Kilmichael Glassary?
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 do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Is Kilmichael Glassary in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Kilmichael Glassary is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. We will tell you when we quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location. If we need more, we will ask.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. The order of work and access are planned with you.
