Questions from Longman
Will you come out to Longman?
Yes, Longman is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
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 do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We don’t issue ratings or certificates ourselves. 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. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you will get one quote.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Longman
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping isn’t 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. Common call-outs are for gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and old fire sealant that has split or come away, on linear gaps, door frames and pipe & cable gaps.
In a smaller place like Longman, commercial jobs are more likely to be a hotel, guest house, school, surgery or community hall than an office block. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- The type of sealant required
- Access and height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many areas need sealing
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.
Helping us quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- How we’d reach the joints
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The address or postcode of the job
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work before giving you a price.
What happens if it’s left?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Getting them done and written up gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. 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.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

Common problems we fix in Longman
Gaps also open up as buildings move: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Millburn Academy, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
Before you book anyone
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether VAT is included
- How long to leave it before use
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. We use a product tested in that kind of wall.
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We measure the gap at its widest point to make sure it suits the product.
Fire rated sealant in Longman: local notes
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Longman, 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. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, though we do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
For buildings such as East Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Rented homes near Inverness station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Around Longman
Typical jobs here are in homes near Cavell Gardens and 1 Grant Street pub. The nearest railway station is Inverness station, roughly 0.6 miles south. A little further out are Inverness Castle (0.8 miles south) and Royal Northern Infirmary (1.3 miles south). Green spaces nearby include Tomnahurich.
The process
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Outdoor work around Longman depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and get them seen to.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record.
