Surface by surface
Door frames
Frame gaps are usually hidden behind the architrave. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size before the trim goes back.
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We work through the gaps on your assessment, flat by flat if needed.
Fire rated sealant in Linwood
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, with each location and product recorded. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. If you have open gaps behind door architraves and open holes round services passing through fire walls, we can put it right, on plasterboard & masonry, service penetrations and pipe & cable gaps alike.
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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on. Expect the work to take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

FAQs for Linwood
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Linwood?
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 do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Do you work in hotels near Linwood?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
