Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Pitlessie
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, and we can record what went where. If you are dealing with sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and linear gaps at the head of walls, we can put it right, on pipe & cable gaps, linear gaps and service penetrations alike.
If you look after holiday lets, a guest house or a community building in or near Pitlessie, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

What we are called out for in Pitlessie
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service isn’t always sealed again.
Look out for any of the following:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
Rented homes near Springfield station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- When the joint can take water or movement
What happens if it’s left?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. In a place like Pitlessie, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
Why us?
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels

When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. We clean out dust and debris before sealing so the sealant bonds.
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes are not treated the same. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail, and tell you if sealant alone is not the right fix.
Questions from Pitlessie
Will you come out to Pitlessie?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Pitlessie?
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 do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. We will tell you when we quote.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. Our work is the gap around the frame.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
