What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere like Lunanhead may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some can’t.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is usually a straightforward job.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Lunanhead
Can you do fire rated sealant in Lunanhead?
Yes, Lunanhead is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
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 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’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We will explain which colours are available and agree one before we start.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we’re done.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We do not give ratings or certificates for our work. Your specification sets the requirement, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it with a record of each location.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
What we’re called out for in Lunanhead
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Lowson Memorial Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Why act early in Lunanhead
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again when the building is next checked. In an older home around Lunanhead, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
