About our fire rated sealant in Old Rayne
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. We’re often asked to deal with sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed, on pipe & cable gaps, plasterboard & masonry and linear gaps.
If you look after holiday lets, a guest house or a community building in or near Old Rayne, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Any fire seal that’s cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. 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 and the list grows.
What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are from start to finish. Outside jobs in Old Rayne need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

FAQs for Old Rayne
I let a flat near Insch station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and 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 cover smaller places like Old Rayne?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We do not certify fire stopping or quote ratings. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and list the locations and products for you.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control, and apply each product to its tested details.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Common problems we fix in Old Rayne
Much fire stopping is hidden: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
In and around Old Rayne, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
