FAQs for Lamlash
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Lamlash?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant has to go in to the product’s tested details, and we follow them. We do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Do you cover smaller places like Lamlash?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It looks sealed but won’t perform as fire stopping. A tested fire-rated product is needed, or ask us to do it.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.

What we’re called out for in Lamlash
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust will not perform as it was tested. Rushed fire stopping is common.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
Schools such as Arran High School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
What your quote should include
- How long to leave it before use
- How the colour is chosen
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
How we quote for fire rated sealant
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number and length of the joints
- Access and height
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Where the property is
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. When it suits you, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Different surfaces, different methods
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We seal them along their full length leaving no stretch unsealed.
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist.
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.

What we do, step by step
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building in most cases. Somewhere like Lamlash may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that is not 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.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
