Fire rated sealant in Loch Baghasdail
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. Typical jobs include damaged fire sealant left by other trades and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, across plasterboard & masonry, pipe & cable gaps and linear gaps.
If you look after holiday lets, a guest house or a community building in or near Loch Baghasdail, the washrooms and kitchens need the same care as any city building, and fire-rated joints should be kept in good order.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building for a typical job. For a place like Loch Baghasdail, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.

When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
Any fire seal that’s cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record.
When to call us in Loch Baghasdail
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
In and around Loch Baghasdail, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before booking
- How long to leave it before use
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- The length of the guarantee
Landlord and commercial work in Loch Baghasdail
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
What happens if it’s left?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Why Loch Baghasdail customers choose us
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- More than 20 years in sealant work

Loch Baghasdail questions
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Loch Baghasdail?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their 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.
Do you cover smaller places like Loch Baghasdail?
Yes. Loch Baghasdail 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.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. We agree access and the order of work with you first.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product, to the product’s details. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Loch Baghasdail and the rest of Na h-Eileanan Siar, along with the rest of our area.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. We work from the specification you give us, and apply each product to its tested details.
