Fire rated sealant in Old Blair
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. If you’re dealing with standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and open holes round services passing through fire walls, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
If you look after holiday lets, a guest house or a community building in or near Old Blair, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Old Blair
Gaps also open up as buildings move: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
If you let a flat or house near Blair Atholl station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
Before booking anyone
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
Why act early in Old Blair
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the work involved is often modest. In a place like Old Blair, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.

Old Blair questions
I let a flat near Blair Atholl station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Old Blair?
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 do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. That’s for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
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.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.

Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
