What fire rated sealant looks like in Lhanbryde
In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details; we don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
Community buildings like Old Parish Church and Burial Ground are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Rented homes near Elgin station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Lhanbryde Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size so the architrave can be refitted.
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product and the locations noted.
What else we do in Lhanbryde
When something else is needed
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Where we work in Lhanbryde
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record so the item can be closed.
Questions from Lhanbryde
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Elgin station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Lhanbryde?
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 do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
What fire rating will the seal have?
That isn’t something we state or certify. Your specification sets the requirement, and we apply a product tested for it, recording the locations and products.
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 and we can apply it for you.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Why deal with it now?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again when the building is next checked. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.

Related advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
