- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not 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.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Tyndrum
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor, with each location and product recorded. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. We are often asked to deal with open joints along the top of partitions and fire stopping disturbed by later work, on pipe & cable gaps, flats & HMOs and plasterboard & masonry.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Tyndrum
In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, though we do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
If you let a flat or house near Tyndrum Lower station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

When to call us in Tyndrum
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 does not always get resealed.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Open joints along the top of partitions
In and around Tyndrum, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Tyndrum
Is Tyndrum within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Tyndrum Lower station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
That is not something we state or certify. Your specification sets the requirement, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it, recording the locations and products.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The product needed can limit the range.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
If you are not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Service penetrations

Why act early in Tyndrum
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.

How the job changes by surface
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist.
