Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Do not drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.

Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls

Scadabhagh questions
Do you cover Scadabhagh for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Scadabhagh is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their 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.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will explain which colours are available and agree one before we start.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use fitted to the maker’s details.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We do not certify fire stopping or quote ratings. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and giving you a record of where it went.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Let us know the building’s hours and we’ll plan the work to suit.
How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- 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.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out 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.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
