Kiltarlity: your questions answered
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. 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.
Will you come out to Kiltarlity?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam isn’t tested as fire stopping. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Fire rated sealant in Kiltarlity
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. We work on pipe & cable gaps, plasterboard & masonry and service penetrations, and the jobs we see most are sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and fire stopping disturbed by later work.
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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Kiltarlity
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Open gaps behind door architraves
In and around Kiltarlity, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number of rooms or windows
- When we can work, for business premises
- Access and height
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Roughly how big the job is
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- A few pictures by email, if you can
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Simply send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job.
The process
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere like Kiltarlity 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 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.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Preparing for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

How the job changes by surface
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each and we flag any that need another system.
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We work through the gaps on your assessment, flat by flat if needed.
Leave it or put it right?
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now 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.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
