How we handle fire rated sealant in Tormore
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping isn’t our role; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. If you have fire seals that have cracked with movement and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap, we can put it right, on linear gaps, flats & HMOs and door frames alike.
In a smaller place like Tormore, commercial jobs are more likely to be a hotel, guest house, school, surgery or community hall than an office block. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.

How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It usually takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. For a place like Tormore, longer drives are planned in advance. 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.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Pipe & cable gaps

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Don’t 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.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes and the job gets bigger.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Tormore
Do you cover smaller places like Tormore?
Yes. Tormore is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Tormore?
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 don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we’re fully insured too.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We do not issue ratings or certificates ourselves. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Tormore?
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Open gaps behind door architraves
Around Tormore, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the seal has something sound to bond to.
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in over any backing the detail calls for.
