About our fire rated sealant in Littleferry
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping is not our role; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. Typical jobs include gaps left after a refit or conversion and old fire sealant that has split or come away, across door frames, linear gaps and plasterboard & masonry.
If you look after holiday lets, a guest house or a community building in or near Littleferry, the washrooms and kitchens need the same care as any city building, and fire-rated joints should be kept in good order.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Littleferry
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Littleferry, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details, though we do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
Rented homes near Golspie station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Common questions in Littleferry
I let a flat near Golspie station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Littleferry?
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 carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Do you come to Littleferry?
Yes. From our base in Crawley, we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland, and that includes Littleferry.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used, so you have it on file.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. That is for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before booking.

The process
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Around Littleferry, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
How to get a quote
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you’re ready, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Surface by surface
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist, and we’ll say if we spot a problem with them.
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We check the gap size around the service to make sure it suits the product.
When to call us in Littleferry
Much fire stopping is hidden: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
Around Littleferry, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Before you book anyone
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What product goes in the joint
- What preparation is included
DIY versus a professional finish
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
If you manage several properties in or around Littleferry, several properties can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
