What happens if it’s left?
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the work involved is often modest. In an older home around Marybank, 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. You will know the price before we begin.

Related advice
DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified room by room.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record so you can show it was dealt with.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Marybank
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details; we do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
Around Marybank, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it. Rented homes near Muir of Ord station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

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. 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.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing and where.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. We work from the specification you give us, and apply each product to its tested details.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
