Fire rated sealant in Largoward, done properly
Landlords, managing agents and facilities teams use us for the sealant items on a fire risk assessment. Send us the list or the survey and we’ll quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. If you have gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, we can help.
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.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Fife.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Access and height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Any mould that needs treating
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The type of property
- How we’d reach the joints
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
Every job is quoted individually. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details, and photos are welcome.
Largoward 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’s 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.
Is Largoward within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It might close the gap, but it is not a fire-rated seal. A tested fire-rated product is needed, or ask us to do it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
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 and which one is used depends on the job.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before any work starts.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
When to call us in Largoward
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Holes left by a change of layout
In and around Largoward, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Around Largoward, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it before applying the sealant.
Linear gaps
Linear gaps run along the head of walls, at floor edges and between panels. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own that doesn’t depend on other work. In a place like Largoward, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
