Turfhill questions
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
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.
Will you come out to Turfhill?
Yes, Turfhill is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you’ll get one quote.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used, so you have it on file.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
What sealant work cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Turfhill?
Much fire stopping is hidden: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
Around Turfhill, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What your quote should include

- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- What product goes in the joint
- What preparation is included
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
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.
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.

Nearby places to Turfhill
Also in Turfhill
Different surfaces, different methods
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size before the trim goes back.
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We measure the gap at its widest point to make sure it suits the product.
The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Outdoor work around Turfhill depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
