Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Stratherrick
We do not assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. We work on flats & HMOs, linear gaps and plasterboard & masonry, and common reasons people get in touch are ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and old fire sealant that has split or come away.
Work in a place like Stratherrick is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Stratherrick as everywhere else we work.

Common problems we fix in Stratherrick
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
Whether the job is in Stratherrick itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own that does not depend on other work. In a place like Stratherrick, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the job gets bigger.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.

Surface by surface
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail, and tell you if sealant alone is not the right fix.
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We work along the whole run.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Stratherrick
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Stratherrick?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own technical handbooks. Whatever the rules, fire-rated sealant has to be installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and that is how we fit it. 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.
Is Stratherrick within the area you cover?
Yes. Stratherrick is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location. If we need more, we will ask.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. That is for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building for a typical job. Somewhere like Stratherrick may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
