How we handle fire rated sealant in Tarsappie
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping isn’t our role; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. We work on plasterboard & masonry, pipe & cable gaps and door frames, and people most often call us about cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and holes left by a change of layout.
Commercial work around smaller Scottish places tends to mean hotels, guest houses, schools and halls rather than offices. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

How the job changes by surface
Door frames
Frame gaps are usually hidden behind the architrave. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size before the trim goes back.
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it.
Why it’s worth doing now in Tarsappie
A quick fill with any sealant to hand isn’t fire stopping. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, so both the product and the method matter. Around Tarsappie, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
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.
Tarsappie: your questions answered
Do you take on hotel work around Tarsappie?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Will you come out to Tarsappie?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What does intumescent mean?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all and which one is used depends on the job.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Tarsappie?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. All our work carries a one-year guarantee.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Tarsappie

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
