Common questions from Condorrat clients
How do Scotland’s building standards affect fire-rated sealant in Condorrat?
Scotland’s non-domestic Technical Handbook covers it in clause 2.1.14: penetrations keep at least the element’s fire resistance duration, with products tested for their end use. We install what has been specified, to the manufacturer’s tested detail, while design and approval sit with the designer and the verifier.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Kilsyth Victoria Cottage Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Do you cover Condorrat?
Yes. Condorrat is in our area and the rest of North Lanarkshire. To discuss a job, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work normally takes longer where risers, ceiling voids or occupied floors have to be worked through in sequence. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
About our fire stopping in Condorrat
It helps to set out our role at the start. Deciding the specification sits with the designer, the fire engineer and building control; sign-off sits with them too. What we bring is careful installation of the specified sealant, to the maker’s guidance on buildings around Condorrat. If you have head-of-wall gaps with no fire seal and openings found when ceilings come down for a refit, we can put it right. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Condorrat from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Refurbishments in small hotels, schools and care homes around places like Condorrat can leave gaps around new services. We fit the specified fire-rated sealant as its published detail shows and raise it if another product is needed.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Condorrat as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

What the job involves on each surface
Linear joints
Head-of-wall gaps, slab edges and wall junctions are linear joints. Their tested detail, under BS EN 1366-4, sets the width, depth, backing and movement allowed and the installation has to fit inside those limits.
Small ducts
Small ductwork can sometimes be sealed with sealant where the tested detail includes it. Larger or fire-rated ductwork usually needs a different solution set by the designer and we flag that rather than guess.
Signs you need fire stopping in Condorrat
Fire stopping can get squeezed at the end of a programme, or done by whoever is on site. That is when untested combinations creep in, which then have to be put right.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Openings left by services added after handover
- Non-fire-rated filler around services
- Snag lists that include open service penetrations
- Hidden openings found during inspections
At a university such as University of the West of Scotland, 2.5 miles to the west of Condorrat, labs, lecture blocks and residences are re-serviced often, so penetration seals are best checked after M&E work.
What to look for in a quote
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
What sets the cost
These are the things that shape the price:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- How much there is to seal
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
Sending details for a quote
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The product your specification calls for
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email if you’d rather talk the job through.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Condorrat is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- The specification and schedule come first, so we know which details apply.
- We plan the sequence of floors, risers and voids with you.
- Each opening is checked for wall or floor type, service, gap and depth.
- Unsuitable material is removed and the opening cleaned so the seal starts clean.
- Backing and fire-rated sealant are installed to the detail and tooled.
- Anything outside the detail is reported to you rather than sealed.
Preparing the site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

Why deal with it now?
A seal that doesn’t match its tested detail gives false comfort. Correcting it means cutting it out and starting again with the specified product, so it makes sense to get it right first time. Around smaller places like Condorrat, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
A quote for service penetrations depends on quantities, condition and access. Ask us for a fixed quote.
