FAQs: Laggan
Do you design the fire stopping for buildings in Laggan?
No, that sits with the designer, fire engineer or building control. We install what’s specified, to the product’s tested detail.
Is a smaller place like Laggan outside your area?
No. Places such as Laggan are covered as much as the big towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
What hours do you work?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for 12 months. If our installation fails in that time, we return and fix it.
About our fire stopping in Laggan
Sealant is the specified answer for plenty of openings, such as metal pipes, cables and some small ducts where the detail covers them. Other openings need collars, wraps, batts, pillows or boards. We use sealant where it is the specified product, and we tell you when a detail calls for something else. If you’re dealing with service penetrations left open after M&E works and non-fire-rated filler around services, we can help. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Laggan it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around smaller places such as Laggan, compartment walls and floors tend to be in schools, hotels, care homes and community buildings. Those penetrations are closed with the product the specification names, built up as tested.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

What sets the cost
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The total length or number of joints
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Phasing around occupants
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What we need to price the job
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we will return a fixed quote you can plan around. For a chat about it beforehand, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Laggan
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
After the work
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Agree the fire-stopping specification before services go in
- Keep product data and details in the fire safety file
- Have penetrations checked while they can still be seen
- Foam or ordinary sealant is never a fire-seal repair
Don’t patch a fire-rated seal with anything outside its tested detail. Repairs need the same product and detail as the original unless the designer specifies otherwise.
Ask every contractor who works in risers or voids to report openings they create. It costs little and catches breaches early.
What the job involves on each surface
Drylining partitions
Service holes through plasterboard are frequently oversized or ragged. If the gap exceeds the tested range, sealant alone won’t do.
Metal pipes
Copper and steel pipes are a common service penetration for fire-rated sealant. Pipe diameter, annular gap, sealant depth and any pipe insulation all have to match the detail.
Compartments and services around Laggan
Scotland has its own building standards: the non-domestic Technical Handbook (clause 2.1.14) says service penetrations should be fire stopped to at least the fire resistance duration of the wall or floor, with proprietary products, intumescent ones included, tested for their end use. Where fire-rated sealant is specified, that’s what we install, to the tested detail.
Older community buildings such as South Laggan Church that have been rewired or given new heating can have service gaps through walls worth checking against the specification. For buildings in and around Laggan, fire-rated sealant is installed where it is specified, to the manufacturer’s tested detail.

How a job runs
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. For work around Laggan, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We read the specification, drawings or penetration schedule you send and raise any questions before we price.
- On site, each opening is checked against the tested detail it is meant to follow.
- Unsuitable fillers and loose debris are taken out of each opening.
- We fit the backing the detail asks for, to the stated depth.
- We apply the specified sealant to the depth and around the services as the detail shows.
- Openings that need a collar, wrap, batt or other product are flagged to you rather than filled with sealant.
What we need from you
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Move anything stored against the joints
Quotes
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Advice
General trades versus a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
