Lacasaidh questions
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 do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Do you cover Lacasaidh for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Lacasaidh is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We do not give ratings or certificates for our work. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it, recording the locations and products.
What sealant do you use?
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.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes, whether the building is a school, an office, flats or an HMO, and whether it’s in use or not. Let us know the building’s hours and we will plan the work to suit.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for a year. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
Fire rated sealant in Lacasaidh, done properly
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, and we can record what went where. Typical jobs include standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, across flats & HMOs, linear gaps and plasterboard & masonry.
Work in a place like Lacasaidh is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around guests, residents or opening hours where possible.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee.

When it isn’t the sealant
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.

We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details; we do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- The product the joint needs
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether the work is at height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Where the job is, and your postcode
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email pictures if that is easy.
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record so you can show it was dealt with.

Advice
Why act early in Lacasaidh
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
Why book with us
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- We never seal over old sealant
- Fully insured

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
