Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product and record where they are.
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail and we flag any that need another system.
Fire rated sealant in Upper Largo
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. If you are dealing with joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and open joints along the top of partitions, we can put it right, on pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and linear gaps alike.
For holiday lets, guest houses and community buildings in or near Upper Largo, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is usually a straightforward job.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.

Common questions in Upper Largo
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Upper Largo?
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 do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Do you take on hotel work around Upper Largo?
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.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.

Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used to keep with your fire safety documents.
