If you look after a building such as Our Lady's High, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Letting a property close to Croy station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some can’t, so ask us which we used.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.

FAQs for Smithstone
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Smithstone?
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 don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Croy station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used for your files.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and giving you a record of where it went.
What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach and we’ll flag it.
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. We clean out dust and debris before sealing so the seal has something sound to bond to.
What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
