Specialist fire rated sealant for Leverburgh: careful preparation, the right product and tidy work. Ask us for a quick quote.
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record so the item can be closed.
About our fire rated sealant in Leverburgh
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; in a fire it expands into the joint. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. We work on pipe & cable gaps, linear gaps and door frames, and people most often call us about seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and linear gaps at the head of walls.
For a place like Leverburgh, the journey and timings are planned in advance, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

When to call us in Leverburgh
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
People normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
Whether the job is in Leverburgh itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant

- Whether the work is at height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The product the joint needs
- The number and length of the joints
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Whether it’s a home or a business
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Simply drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job.
What the job involves on each surface
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified.
Why it’s worth doing now in Leverburgh
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Getting them done and written up gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why us?
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Full insurance on every job
- Over 20 years’ experience
- ARBOMaster approved applicator

Leverburgh questions
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Leverburgh?
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 don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Will you come out to Leverburgh?
Yes. Leverburgh is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in so it’s there for the next inspection.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We don’t issue ratings or certificates ourselves. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves, and we install to them.
