Community buildings like Towie Parish Church are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Fire rated sealant in Towie, done properly
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; in a fire it expands into the joint. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it. We work on linear gaps, plasterboard & masonry and door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and holes left by a change of layout.
Work in a place like Towie is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around guests, residents or opening hours where possible.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How the job changes by surface
Door frames
Frame gaps are usually hidden behind the architrave. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details so the architrave can be refitted.
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth with backing where the detail needs it.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Common questions in Towie
Do you cover Towie for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Towie is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Will you come out to Towie?
Yes, Towie is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all, and the choice depends on the gap.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access for a typical job. Somewhere like Towie 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.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- 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.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. In a place like Towie, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Towie?
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.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
Around Towie, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
