Fire rated sealant in Lochgelly, done properly
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate. We work on flats & HMOs, door frames and service penetrations, and people most often call us about holes left by a change of layout and damaged fire sealant left by other trades.
If you look after holiday lets, a guest house or a community building in or near Lochgelly, the washrooms and kitchens need the same care as any city building, and fire-rated joints should be kept in good order.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How the job changes by surface
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in with backing where the detail needs it.
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. The gap is cleaned and backed where required before the sealant goes in.

What else we do in Lochgelly
When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. How it’s installed changes how it performs, and we work to the product details every time. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Common questions in Lochgelly
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
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 is how we fit it. We do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
I let a flat near Lochgelly station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
What does intumescent mean?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant, and the choice depends on the gap.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
Ratings and certificates are not something we issue. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
