How we handle fire rated sealant in Airlie
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; in a fire it expands into the joint. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we follow the tested detail for each one. If you are dealing with gaps left after a refit or conversion and old fire sealant that has split or come away, we can help, on plasterboard & masonry, flats & HMOs and door frames alike.
For holiday lets, guest houses and community buildings in or near Airlie, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Airlie and across Angus.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
You will get a clear quote before we start. It’s based on:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number and length of the joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove

How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere like Airlie may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

For buildings such as Churchyard, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. In and around Airlie, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Airlie questions
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Airlie?
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.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Airlie?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Airlie is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam isn’t tested as fire stopping. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. We record the locations we have sealed and the products used for your files.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and giving you a record of where it went.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Why act early in Airlie
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing once someone inspects it. In a place like Airlie, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
Do not drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
