What happens on the day
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Maryburgh may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

About our fire rated sealant in Maryburgh
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; in a fire it expands into the joint. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. Common call-outs are for open gaps behind door architraves and holes left by a change of layout, across flats & HMOs, linear gaps and service penetrations.
Commercial work around smaller Scottish places tends to mean hotels, guest houses, schools and halls rather than offices. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

What we’re called out for in Maryburgh
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust won’t perform as it was tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried particularly when it was the last job before handover.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
Rented homes near Lochgelly station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
What your quote should include
- What guarantee comes with the work
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Is VAT in the price?
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Why it’s worth doing now in Maryburgh
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing once someone inspects it. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.

Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Maryburgh
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’s how we fit it. 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.
I let a flat near Lochgelly station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in, so you have it on file.
Where are you based?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Do you come to Maryburgh?
Yes. From our base in Crawley, we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland, and that includes Maryburgh.
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes.
